Merit Medical Celebrates Completion of Xeriscape Landscaping Project
June 29 2022 - 5:30PM
Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MMSI), a leading global
manufacturer and marketer of healthcare technology, today
celebrated the completion of a xeriscape landscaping project at its
South Jordan headquarters with Utah Governor Spencer J. Cox. Nearly
three acres of grass has been replaced, reducing water intensive
plantings by approximately 75%. More than 1,142 tons of decorative
rock, 250 boulders, along with native drought-resistant, low-water
plants and shrubs have been installed. All existing trees remained
intact and 56 have been added. The project included a new drip
irrigation system designed to prevent water evaporation and runoff.
“Merit takes corporate citizenship seriously,” said Fred P.
Lampropoulos, Merit Medical’s Chairman and CEO. “Our xeriscaping
initiative is one of several projects Merit is undertaking to
reduce our environmental impact. Utah’s drought conditions make the
need to protect our water resources urgent, and Merit is excited to
be part of the solution.”
South Jordan Mayor Dawn Ramsey reiterated the urgent need to
save water. “South Jordan has citywide initiatives to make our
community eco-friendlier,” she added. “Merit’s xeriscaping
initiative helps to protect Utah’s natural resources and supports
our community’s needs. The positive feedback and appreciation we
have received from the South Jordan community has been
phenomenal.”
In 2016, the Utah Division of Water Resources launched the
H2Oath: a waterwise pledge to encourage practical and efficient
water conservation efforts by families, businesses, cities,
government agencies, and statewide organizations. “Thousands of
people and organizations have taken the H2Oath,” stated Utah
Governor Spencer J. Cox. “Merit’s xeriscaping initiative is an
example of a company doing what is right. This progress is
encouraging, and I hope others continue to follow their
example.”
