New Jersey American Water Survey Finds Most Common Household Leaks During Fix a Leak Week

New Jersey American Water Survey Finds Most Common Household Leaks During Fix a Leak Week

Up to 77 percent of Americans have reported seeing signs of a water leak, according to recent New Jersey American Water survey on household leaks

CAMDEN, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
More than two in three Americans have experienced a leak at their home, according to a recent survey conducted by global research agency Opinium on behalf of New Jersey American Water in an effort to better understand Americans’ awareness of household leaks.

The results coincide with the annual recognition of Fix a Leak Week (March 15-21, 2021), a national campaign led by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) each year that helps raise awareness about leaks and other water issues that contribute to water waste within homes.

This year’s Fix a Leak Week comes as we approach the one-year mark of COVID-19, when many people began spending more time indoors and home water usage increased across the board. In fact, since the start of the public health emergency, about a quarter of Americans say they have been using more water, meaning it’s more important than ever to be aware of common issues and know how to spot them.

“By conducting our survey, we were able to take a comprehensive snapshot of where we stand when it comes to water leaks and water conservation during this unprecedented time,” said Thomas Shroba, Vice President of Operations, New Jersey American Water. “As part of our mission in helping to better serve customers, we are using this year’s Fix a Leak Week to help people understand where and how to spot common problematic leaks to help improve home safety and support water efficiency and conservation.”

  • More than half of Americans have experienced leaks in their bathroom (52%) and kitchen (50%). Here are some ways to keep track of some of those common leaks:
    • Test your toilet. Place a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If any color shows up in the bowl after 10 minutes, you have a leak. (Flush immediately after the experiment to avoid staining the tank.) Watch this short video for more information about toilet leaks.
    • Watch what you put down the drain. There are many things we put down the drain that don’t belong there. Check out our list of what should never go down your drain for items that may be hurting your pipes.
  • Up to 77% of Americans reported seeing signs of a potential water leak. Checking up on this can be as easy as doing the following:
    • Examine faucet gaskets and pipe fittings. Look for any water on the outside of the pipe to identify any leaks.
    • Check outside. Examine the exterior of your home if you think you have a leak. If hoses are left on even a little, they can drip, resulting in wasted water over time. Irrigation systems can leak underground, causing mushy sod and other above-ground indications of issues.
  • Nearly a quarter of Americans report using more water since the beginning of the pandemic. Here’s what you can do if you’re worried about your water usage:
    • Keep track of water usage, especially during cold winter months. If, during January or February, a family of four exceeds 12,000 gallons per month, there are serious leaks.

New Jersey American Water is committed to fixing leaks by replacing or upgrading water infrastructure to continue to provide clean, safe, reliable water to customers. Last year alone, the company invested over $464 million in capital investment to replace and upgrade pipes, pumps, treatment and storage. The company also uses award-winning leak detection technology to help find leaks and fix them before they become larger breaks.

Milestone Step Further Aligns Company’s Purpose and Values with Visible ESG Leadership

PR Newswire

AKRON, Ohio, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Signet Jewelers (NYSE: SIG) today announced it has joined the United Nations Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, underscoring the Company’s purpose-driven growth strategy. With this commitment, Signet joins more than 12,000 member companies in more than 160 countries that are aligning their operations and strategies with universal principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption, and taking strategic action towards broader societal goals such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals. For example, Signet believes SDG 5 – gender equality – is not only a fundamental human right, but a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. 

“Our core belief at Signet is that Love Inspires Love.  Signet’s Purpose – Inspiring Love – infuses our work with meaning, and is a standard of responsibility to which we hold ourselves accountable. It extends beyond our walls to our industry and our stakeholders across the globe,” said Signet Jewelers CEO Virginia C. Drosos. “It’s with that deeply held belief in mind that we are proudly joining the UN Global Compact initiative as a way to further demonstrate that the actions of our company align with our purpose and values. Signet employees in every part of our business are inspired by the opportunity to be the change we want to see the world, and it is on their behalf that we step up in visible support of human and labor rights, sustainability and anti-corruption practices.”

We are now accelerating our long-standing Corporate Social Responsibility strategy with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, including recent highlights:

  • For the third-consecutive year, the Bloomberg® Gender Equality Index included Signet, the only specialty retail jeweler to earn that distinction.
  • Signet recently announced it is raising its minimum wage to $15/hour for all U.S. employees by 2022. It also provided Love Takes Care™ Appreciation Awards to full-time and part-time U.S. employees serving customers in stores as they reopened during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Signet joined the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Alliance.
  • Signet deepened its commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by adding two new Directors to its Board, increasing the Board’s representation of women and persons of color to 59% percent.
  • Signet became Great Place to Work-Certified®, as a result of the company’s commitment to its employees.

“Joining the UN Global Compact further expresses our commitment to our multi-year strategy to drive business awareness and action in support of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030,” said Eugenia Ulasewicz, Chair of Signet’s Board-level Corporate Citizenship and Sustainability Committee. “I’m proud of Signet’s sustainability progress, such as with our renowned responsible sourcing practices which span more than two decades, and I look forward to helping expand our societal impact even further.”

The Company’s sustainability journey began before 2000, with more than two decades of Signet playing an instrumental role in helping establish international responsible sourcing trade associations, such as the World Diamond Council, the industry arm of the Kimberley Process, an ongoing commitment to remove conflict diamonds from the global supply chain.  The Company is also a Founding and Certified Member, and current Chair of the Responsible Jewellery Council, while providing support to the Diamond Development Initiative, and Diamonds Do Good.

In 2011, Signet was named to the Organization for Economic Cooperative Development (OECD) Conflict Minerals Working Group. And Signet’s Responsible Sourcing Protocol has been in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights since 2011. With that work, Signet has led hundreds of suppliers in implementing the UN Guiding Principles for more than a decade, and in line with OECD Due Diligence Guidance since 2016.

National Western Life Group, Inc. Announces 2020 Full Year and Fourth Quarter Earnings

PR Newswire

AUSTIN, Texas, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Ross R. Moody, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of National Western Life Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NWLI), announced today 2020 consolidated net earnings of $92.3 million, or $26.11 per diluted Class A common share, compared with consolidated net earnings of $131.6 million, or $37.22 per diluted Class A common share, for 2019. The Company’s book value per share increased to $698.50 as of December 31, 2020 from $582.07 as of December 31, 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company reported consolidated net earnings of $35.1 million, or $9.94 per diluted Class A common share, compared with $37.7 million, or $10.67 per diluted Class A common share, in the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Company reported total revenues for the year, excluding realized and unrealized gains on index options and investments, of $658.9 million in 2020 compared to $689.7 million in 2019. Mr. Moody noted that the decline was due to lower net investment income as a consequence of the substantial decrease in interest rates during 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Net investment income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $402.4 million compared to $432.3 million a year earlier.

Addressing the impact of lower yielding investments, Mr. Moody highlighted the execution of a reinsurance transaction the Company completed at the end of 2020. “In the past year, the life insurance industry has experienced a heightened level of merger and acquisition activity as well as consummations of reinsurance deals, particularly involving life insurers such as National Western with large legacy blocks of in force business with fixed interest rate guarantees. These types of products have come under pressure as traditional investment yields continue an unprecedented decline. As previously reported, we successfully completed a reinsurance agreement at December 31, 2020 that transferred financial responsibility for approximately $1.7 billion of these fixed interest rate policy obligations, which relieved us of the associated interest rate spread compression and allows us to redeploy our capital resources.”

Mr. Moody indicated that the pandemic crisis presented challenges but did not prevent the Company from achieving successful operating results. “In terms of COVID-19 mortality experience, we were fortunate that National Western and Ozark National in the aggregate incurred only $7.9 million in net death claims, which was balanced out by favorable mortality experienced with the remainder of our business. From a new business standpoint, we had a very successful sales year as our annuity sales were up 38% and our life insurance sales increased over 6%.”

National Western Life Group, Inc. is the parent organization of National Western Life Insurance Company, which is the parent organization of Ozark National Life Insurance Company, both stock life insurance companies in aggregate offering a broad portfolio of individual universal life, whole life and term insurance plans, as well as annuity products. At December 31, 2020, the Company maintained consolidated total assets of $14.6 billion, consolidated stockholders’ equity of $2.5 billion, and combined life insurance in force of $22.0 billion.

Lordstown Motors Investor Alert: Kaplan Fox Investigates Potential Securities Fraud At Lordstown Motors Corp.

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, March 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Lordstown Motors Corp. (“Lordstown” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RIDE).

On March 12, 2021, Hindenburg Research published a report entitled “The Lordstown Motors Mirage: Fake Orders, Undisclosed Production Hurdles, And A Prototype Inferno.” Hindenburg alleges, among other things that “Lordstown is an electric vehicle SPAC with no revenue and no sellable product, which we believe has misled investors on both its demand and production capabilities.” Hindenburg also alleges that “[t]he company has consistently pointed to its book of 100,000 pre-orders as proof of deep demand for its proposed EV truck” although “[Hindenburg’s] conversations with former employees, business partners and an extensive document review show that the company’s orders are largely fictitious and used as a prop to raise capital and confer legitimacy.”

Following the issuance of the Hindenburg Research report, Lordstown’s shares fell $2.93 per share, about 16.5%, to close at $14.78 per share on March 12, 2021.

Bit Digital, Inc. (BTBT) Securities Fraud Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors about Bit Digital’s business operations and prospects by concealing that the company exaggerated its bitcoin mining operation.

Investors allegedly began to learn the truth on Jan. 11, 2021, when market analyst J Capital Research issued a scathing report about the company, concluding that Bit Digital operates “a fake crypto currency business” “designed to steal funds from investors.”

According to J Capital, “[t]he company reported at end Q3 2020 that it was operating 22,869 bitcoin miners in China,” but that “is simply not possible” and “[w]e verified with local governments supposedly hosting the BTBT mining operation that there are no bitcoin miners there.”

In response, the price of Bit Digital shares crashed lower.

Most recently, on Feb. 3, 2021 Bit Digital announced its chairwoman (Ping Liu) resigned, its CEO (Min Hu) was terminated, and its Chief Strategy Officer (Hong Yu) resigned.

“We’re focused on investor losses and proving Bit Digital faked its business by falsely portraying itself as a player in bitcoin mining,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
