H20 on CPN, not the whole story

We feel pretty strongly that a recent story on CPN news didn't paint a fair picture about the H20 transport group. H20 prides ourselves on being a responsible member of the rural communities in which we operate and we are dedicated to working with and assisting those in these communities who are in most need.

Unfortunately negative outcomes are inevitable in some cases given the current environmental crisis that we are all facing together. H20 acknowledges that in some extreme situations it may appear that these negative outcomes are the result of H20 involvement, however we maintain that in each of these cases the situation would be worse without our involvement.

H20 is heavily involved in assisting those in difficult circumstances, not to making these circumstances worse and we will not shy away from this mission just because the going gets tough.

Our heart goes out to the young man Jade Hall who was featured in the story and H20 Transport group will be working to help this young man and others in similar situations in any way that we can.

H20 applauds set up of RMPT (Rural Missing Persons Taskforce)

H20 transport group CEO Jo Mangano today handed over a check for $15000.00 to the community liaison section of the recently established RMPT or Rural Missing Persons Taskforce.

In the last year and in recent months in particular, the numbers of persons being reported missing in Rural areas has skyrocketed and the RMPT has been established in order to track and search for these missing persons as well as investigate the possible causes of the increase.

There has been significant speculation as to the possible causes for the increase. The most commonly accepted theory is that many people are simply walking off the land and being lost in the count of rural refugees headed towards Australia’s major cities and coastal areas. H20 transport group absolutely rejects the variety of ‘conspiracy’ theories that have been circulating rural areas, particularly about people being murdered for water allocations and control of water supply.

At times of great difficulty, these sorts of crazy and hair brained stories always arise” Said H2O CEO Jo Mangano. “The important job for all of us is to focus on what the REAL issues are and to work with the RMPT in the solving of these heartbreaking mysteries

H20 transport group purchases 100th truck

There were celebrations today at the H20 transport group’s headquarters as the group took delivery of its 100th water truck. Only last month, the group was celebrating the landmark of becoming Australia’s largest private water transport group.

H20 CEO Jo Mangano cut the ribbon and spoke to employees gathered for the occasion:

Today is an exciting day for the H20 transport group as we build on the extraordinary foundation of growth and success that we have all built together over the last three years. Certainly, we live in difficult times and water is an issue that raises passionate opinions. It is the nature of what we do that we will not always be able to please everyone. However, in response to those who have recently claimed that H20 has grown and profited from the misery and desperation of those on the land who in dire need of water we say, go out and ask the farmers themselves, ask them what they think of us and the work we are doing. Our record stands for itself. Certainly the growth of H20 group has coincided with record water prices and this is something that we can’t and won’t apologies for. What we will do is continue to deliver great services to our customers and work to help those most affected by the recent environmental crisis
