LIXIL Americas

Over 2 million Americans lack access to sanitation services. Lowndes County in Alabama is one such community– where a majority of residents live below the poverty level and 80% do not have access to a safe sanitation system.

At LIXIL, we are trying to change that by improving sanitation and water efficiency in over 100 homes across the county. We are collaborating with the federal and state government, academia, the plumbing community and the private sector to find innovative and sustainable wastewater treatment systems for the residents of the county.
