the Company’s Applied Water Systems division, has been promoted to
Senior Vice President and President, Dewatering, where he will be
responsible for all aspects of Xylem’s dewatering operations globally,
including strategy, sales and marketing, product development,
manufacturing, and supply chain. Xylem is a world leader in delivering

applications through both rentals and sales. In this role, Mr. Flinton
will also be a member of the Xylem Senior Leadership Team and report to
Mr. Decker. He will operate out of the Dewatering headquarters in
Bridgeport, N.J.
“At Xylem, we are fortunate to have strong business leaders that bring
to bear insightful strategic viewpoints along with the sharp executional
skills required to operate in today’s global market,” said
Decker. “Colin has been an outstanding leader of our dewatering
business, capitalizing on opportunities to expand our global presence
while also streamlining operations to drive productivity in challenging
market conditions. Dave, over nearly two decades with the company, has
been a consistent driver of solutions that focus on our customers’
current and emerging needs, accelerating innovation and expanding our
revenue opportunities. Both of these executives will play key roles in
helping us advance Xylem’s strategic priorities.”
Mr. Decker continued, “Chris McIntire has made significant contributions
to our analytics and treatment businesses during his tenure and we wish
him the best as he moves on to a new opportunity.”

Xylem’s Dewatering business in 2013, where he led the global operations
of the division including strategy, sales and marketing, product
