Standard Water Control believes it’s not enough to just do great work for our customers. We also give back to our community. Standard Water’s President and his wife have been long time supporters of the Como Zoo, the last free zoo in the country. At a fundraising auction for the zoo, they bid on and won an item. The auction item in question? An opportunity to rappel down the Ecolab tower in downtown Saint Paul… …for Mike. Here you can see Mike facing his fear of heights head on to support community organizations that he believes in!
