Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 9, 2026) - BluMetric Environmental Inc. (TSXV: BLM) (OTCQX: BLMWF) ("BluMetric" or "the Company"), an engineering WaterTech and full-service environmental consulting firm, is pleased to announce a US$1.5 million (CA$2.0 million) contract to supply a Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for a private housing development in Florida. The plant will treat 150,000 gallons per day (GPD) of wastewater and has the option to be expanded to 300,000 GPD through a subsequent phase and purchase order.

"Wastewater treatment is becoming a more significant part of our WaterTech business offerings," stated Scott MacFabe, Chair and CEO. "Our continued wins in the space reaffirm our MBR technology platform and its ability to deliver economic performance and reliability to our clients. We continue to see U.S. housing developments, along with plants of this size, as an important driver of our base load revenues as we scale the overall business."

The system will be manufactured by the Company's WaterTech USA division in Gainesville, Florida, and is expected to be delivered and commissioned within the next twelve months. Once deployed, the WWTP will be remotely monitored from the Company's operations center, and spare parts and consumables will be provided.

In response to the demand for WaterTech USA's products, BluMetric is in active discussions to potentially double its current manufacturing footprint of 25,000 square feet to 50,000 square feet in Gainesville. The additional space would allow the Company to serve higher potential demand, particularly for U.S.-based projects, where quoting and proposals have seen a significant year-over-year increase.
