Basin Water Appoints Richard A. Reese as Vice President, Marketing.

Industry Veteran Will Be Instrumental in Positioning Company Offerings During Planned Technological, Geographical and Municipal/Industrial Market Expansion

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. -- Basin Water Inc. (NASDAQ:BWTR) announced the appointment of Mr. Richard A. Reese to the position of Vice President, Marketing. The appointment follows closely on Basin's recent acquisition of Mobile Process Technology, Co. (MPT) and represents another important step in the company's plans for geographical expansion, entry into the industrial market and the integration of new technologies into its customer-focused technology+services municipal business model. Mr. Reese is a fifteen year veteran in marketing, sales and integration of technology into service-based businesses for the industrial and municipal water and wastewater markets. Immediately prior to joining Basin Water, he served as Vice President and General Manager, Aftermarket for Siemens Water Technologies, a world leader in water and wastewater products, equipment and service. In his new role, Mr. Reese will be responsible for aligning Basin Water's technology and services offerings with the needs of the marketplace and for delivering top-notch performance for customers as the company grows geographically throughout the United States.

According to Mike Stark, President and Chief Operating Officer of Basin Water, the appointment of Mr. Reese represents another addition to the company's growing team of experienced, professional managers, and will be instrumental in the company's plans for orderly expansion of both its technology+service offering and its geographical presence. "Richard Reese's strong track record of team building, along with his proven ability to creatively stimulate growth and profit within complex services-oriented organizations, makes him the perfect fit for Basin's marketing needs through this dynamic transitional period and beyond," said Stark. "While we envision that our growth, both technically and geographically, will be partly driven by the accurate identification and assessment of new business opportunities - an area where Richard excels -- it's equally important to Basin Water that we continue to refine our performance in existing markets and for our current client base. Richard also brings us tools to ensure our understanding of client needs and long-term customer satisfaction as we move forward," he added.

The Basin Water business model of solution development - providing proprietary, customized technology on a service basis supported by a performance guarantee - has achieved acceptance in the municipal drinking water treatment industry. The company now intends to grow into a larger national presence in both this market and in the industrial market, utilizing the same business model while offering customers a wider range of technology. According to Stark, Reese's appointment underscores the company's dedication to keeping a tight focus on customer satisfaction while increasing its scale of operations. "We feel that our great strength has been in the delivery of superior, guaranteed solutions to our clients along with the service assurance that Basin Water will be there to support them in the long term," Stark said. "During this period of growth, we view it as critical to maintain that close, 'local' relationship with all our clients even as we move onto a much larger playing field. Richard Reese has the talent and marketing experience to drive our growth into new areas and keep us fully attentive to customer needs," he added.

During his 10-year tenure with USFilter and Siemens Water Technologies, Mr. Reese also held positions as Senior Vice President, Marketing - Services Group, Vice President - Customer Service and Satisfaction, and Vice President and General Manager - Recovery Services Southwest. He has also served in operating and business development roles in the hydrocarbon recycling, waste management and pipeline engineering industries. He resides in Houston, TX.
