Wastewater Transport Services is offering reduced pricing to new and existing Texas restaurant customers to help them stay in compliance with local health code regulations during the coronavirus pandemic. The 35 percent discount will be extended until June 1, the company announced.

“Our restaurant customers have been dealt a devastating blow with the COVID-19 situation, with all of them having to either move solely to take-out or delivery options,” CEO Darrell Rogers said in an announcement. “This is a moment in time when we all need to help each other out as much as possible. It’s our hope that this substantial, below-cost price cut will allow our restaurant customers to gain some financial relief as they work to navigate through one of the most challenging times in anyone’s memory. We are committed to doing our part as a good corporate citizen in helping our friends and neighbors in the foodservice industry.”
