Exhibit 99.1

ITT Businesses File Form 10 Registration Statements as Next Step in Separation into Three Independent Companies

Separation Remains on Track to Be Completed by the End of the Year

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 11, 2011--ITT Corporation (NYSE: ITT) today announced in connection with its previously announced plan to pursue a separation into three distinct, publicly traded companies that Form 10 Registration Statements have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for ITT’s water-related businesses and ITT’s Defense & Information Solutions segment. Presentations with details about the future ITT Corporation and the companies that will be spun off have been presented in a Form 8-K furnished to the SEC and posted to the company’s website www.itt.com.

“The filing of the Form 10 Registration Statements is an important milestone in our transformation," said Steve Loranger, chairman, president and chief executive officer of ITT. “ITT, the future water company and the future defense company are each strategically well-positioned to create significant value for shareholders as standalone entities. Each business has a talented leadership team that knows what it takes to excel in its respective industries; an employee base that always puts its customers first; and a proud tradition of engineering excellence and innovation. With leading products, strong market positions and highly skilled employees, these businesses are poised to benefit from greater strategic focus by management and direct and differentiated access to capital resources. We look forward to completing the separation in 2011 and realizing the significant benefits for each of the companies and our shareholders.”

Under the plan announced in January 2011, ITT will execute tax-free spinoffs to shareholders of its water-related businesses and its Defense & Information Solutions segment. ITT’s core industrial business will continue under the ITT Corporation name and will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange, under the symbol “ITT,” as a company that supplies highly engineered solutions in the aerospace, transportation, energy and industrial markets. ITT shareholders will own shares in all three corporations following the completion of the transaction. Both of the new companies intend to have their common stock listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Completion of the separation is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, the receipt of an IRS tax ruling, declaration of effectiveness of the Form 10 Registration Statements filed with the SEC, and other customary matters. Approval by ITT’s shareholders is not required for completion of the separation.

The Form 10 Registration Statements provide an overview of the markets and industries in which the companies will operate, the management and boards of directors, and each company's financial statements, as well as details about each company's structure and risks. A copy of each Form 10 Registration Statement is available at www.sec.gov and at www.itt.com/transformation.

The future water company will be a world leader in the design, manufacturing, and application of highly engineered technologies for the water industry. The new company will specialize in providing equipment and services for water and wastewater applications with a broad portfolio of products and services addressing the full cycle of water, from collection, distribution and use to the return of water to the environment. The company's brands, such as Bell & Gossett and Flygt, are well known throughout the industry and have served the water market for many years.

Following completion of the spinoffs, the future defense company will be a leader in Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) related products and systems and information and technical services, supplying military, government and commercial customers in the United States and globally. The new company will operate in two segments: C4ISR Electronics and Systems, which will provide communications, electronic warfare, imaging and image-processing, radar and sonar systems, space systems, and aerostructures for government and commercial customers around the world; and Information and Technical Services, which will provide a broad range of systems integration, network design and development, cyber, intelligence, operations, sustainment, advanced engineering, logistics, space launch and range-support solutions for a wide variety of U.S. military and government agency customers.
