WESTON Awarded Design/Build Contract for Western Berks Water Authority Upgrade

West Chester, Pa. - April 25, 2000 -- Roy F. Weston, Inc. (Nasdaq:WSTNA) announced today that the company has been awarded a contract, valued at $1.75 million, by the Western Berks Water Authority (WBWA), Berks County, Pennsylvania, for design/build services to improve the Authority's water treatment plant. WBWA serves the Boroughs of Shillington, Wyomissing and West Reading.

WESTON will install two WATERLINK Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems to improve treatment effectiveness and achieve a rated capacity of 8 MGD for the plant. The company will also construct support structures for the DAF systems and provide all electrical, instrumentation, startup, and permitting services. The upgrades are expected to substantially improve the taste and odor of the drinking water.

"We are extremely pleased that WBWA chose WESTON to improve their water quality," said Patrick G. McCann, WESTON president and chief operating officer. "This contract reflects our broadening capabilities in the water treatment market, which is a targeted growth initiative for WESTON."

The DAF clarification process, a recent innovation in water treatment, was developed by Waterlink, Inc. (NYSE:WLK). The process was successfully pilot tested two years ago and received approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for the WBWA upgrade.

Gannett Fleming, Inc., based in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, is the Authority's Engineer and will serve as Program Manager to oversee and coordinate the project.
