Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (NYSE: WMS) (“ADS” or the
“Company”), a leading provider of innovative water management
solutions in the stormwater and onsite septic wastewater industries
and one of the largest plastic recyclers in North America, today
announced the donation of $30,000 to help in the Hurricane Helene
and Hurricane Milton relief efforts through the ADS Foundation.
The funds will be split, with $15,000 going to the North
Carolina Disaster Relief Fund and $15,000 going to the Florida
Disaster Fund. Both states were hit especially hard by Helene, a
category 4 hurricane, with Florida receiving another devastating
hit just 13 days later when Milton made landfall as a category 3
hurricane.
According to the National Hurricane Center, Helene hit areas of
Florida harder than any hurricane in 103 years, with water levels
reaching more than 15 feet above ground level. North Carolina
experienced devastation due to a recent storm event that soaked
areas of the state, making it difficult for the ground to absorb
Hurricane Helene’s rain, which caused landslides and flash
flooding. Hurricane Milton followed less than two weeks later,
spawning an unprecedented number of tornados, before making
landfall in the state of Florida.
“With the increasing intensity and frequency of storms in our
country, it’s important to support areas impacted by these
hurricanes’ devastating effects, so residents have the help they
need to recover as quickly as possible. Both states, Florida and
North Carolina, are home to many of our associates, and as a water
management company, we know firsthand the impact a hurricane can
have on communities,” said Kevin Talley, president of the ADS
Foundation. “One of the reasons the foundation was created is to
allow us to rapidly respond when disasters strike. This donation
will help rebuild damaged infrastructure in some of the hardest hit
areas of these states.”
The ADS Foundation is the charitable arm of ADS with a mission
of improving quality of life by building resilient and sustainable
communities that inspire social equity in recycling, education,
mental health, housing, and water.
In addition to the corporate disaster recovery donation,
Infiltrator Water Technologies, a subsidiary of ADS that
specializes in onsite wastewater solutions, is providing products
to areas heavily impacted by the storm to help aid in recovery
efforts. Additionally, two ADS manufacturing facilities partnered
with their respective communities to gather and deliver supplies to
North Carolina.
Water is the world’s most precious resource. As an industry
leader, ADS is committed to protecting and managing water by
providing sustainable water management solutions that safeguard the
environment and build resilient communities. Learn more on their
