Town Administrator Steve Miller

Town of Pendleton, SC
Finding qualified operators to manage the 3 million-gallon plant with expertise in multiple aspects of operations has always been an issue.  ClearWater brings not only their entire organization as a resource for my Council and management team, but they are genuinely concerned with the overall financial aspect encountered by everyone that runs a utility system.

Mayor Tony Ducker

City of Petal, MS
One of the things you often dread about a switch-out is the lack of communication and overall decrease in productivity. Clearwater communicated how they would handle everything and hit the ground running on day one. We were able to increase our service, and I couldn’t be happier about the going with them. One of our considerations was keeping pace with what the market is paying and state retirement that continues to rise. Every one of our employees was offered a job, and with a 401K Clearwater is able to attract and retain good personnel. Overall, we are getting things done, while Clearwater saves us money and headaches. It is a partnership, and I believe Clearwater has the same goals as the City.
