The Reservoir Center is a shared space to collaborate to solve the world’s water problems. At times these discussions may involve entities that have divergent interests or compete with each other as part of the water sector, including through trade associations. At no point are attendees of events held at the Reservoir Center to engage in anticompetitive or cartel behavior. This includes, but is not limited to, discussing competitively sensitive information or any items dealing with pricing, bidding, boycotts, production, or exclusionary or predatory practices. Anticompetitive conduct is counter to the mission of the Reservoir Center and it is prohibited under Xylem’s antitrust and competition policies. Violations may subject Xylem employees and partners of the Reservoir Center to potential civil, criminal, and administrative penalties.
The Reservoir Center operates as a neutral space to generate ideas to solve the world’s water problems. In coming together to generate solutions to these tough and critical problems, we must not use this space to influence governmental decision making as the laws around these activities are nuanced. Accordingly, partners of the Reservoir Center and event attendees may not engage in lobbying activities while at the Reservoir Center. We consider lobbying activities to mean attempts by an individual or organization to influence decisions made by a government, and includes the preparation, research, background work, or planning for influencing such decisions.
Individuals are responsible for their personal property and should remove all personal items when they depart the facility. The Reservoir Center does not accept responsibility for any property that is left at the facility. Illegal substances and firearms are not permitted in the facility.
