Epic Cleantec

Water and sewer rates are projected to rise by as much as 115% over the next decade in major U.S. cities, rising faster than general inflation. 💧 Cities are implementing aggressive multi-year utility rate increases as aging infrastructure, climate pressures, and funding gaps strain municipal systems. And unlike many other operating costs, water and sewer charges aren’t negotiable. Our newest blog breaks down: 🔹 Why utility rates are surging 🔹 How rising rates can impact building asset value 🔹 Why onsite water reuse is becoming a financial hedge 🔹 A case study showing the impact of installing a reuse system Read the full blog here: na2.hubs.ly/H05Hjgv0

What does it take to make onsite water recycling the norm, not the exception? That's the question the Epic team unpacked last week at our annual retreat in Sonoma. We spent time with our investors and board members mapping where the industry is headed, then stepped back to align on how Epic keeps pushing the water reuse movement forward. The way buildings use water is changing, and the systems we design today will shape how cities respond to scarcity, growth, and resilience in the decades ahead. In between strategy sessions, there were shared meals, inspiring views, and plenty of laughs. The work ahead is ambitious. But so is this group.

💬 Alana Kobayashi Pakkala, CEO & Partner at Kobayashi Group, LLC, shared why they are embracing onsite water reuse. At Kuilei Place, our OneWater™ reuse system will recycle up to 30,000 gallons of greywater daily, saving nearly 11 million gallons of potable water and an estimated $161,000 in utility costs each year. From cost savings to conservation, this is what smarter water infrastructure looks like. 💧

💧Water costs are rising, and the trend is not slowing down. New data from @BluefieldWater shows U.S. water and sewer bills increased 5.1% in 2025, outpacing inflation and reaching a five-year high. As one analyst puts it: “Utilities are facing their own inflationary pressures… increasing the cost of maintaining and modernizing outdated infrastructure.” This is where onsite water recycling can come in. Water reuse is not just a sustainability strategy; it’s a cost and resilience strategy. At Epic Cleantec, we see water reuse as a way to turn a growing cost pressure into a long-term asset.

Water reuse comes with a lot of questions, and we’ve got you covered. 💧 From costs and safety to regulations and real-world applications, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about onsite water recycling and why it’s essential for the future of buildings. 👉 Read the full blog to learn more: na2.hubs.ly/H04KmPf0
