Clearwell: The operating system for small drinking water utilities
Built for systems from 15 to 1,000 connections. Field capture, compliance tracking, lab results, and reporting all in one place.
Built for systems from 15 to 1,000 connections. Field capture, compliance tracking, lab results, and reporting all in one place.
Too small for "big company" software, but so complex to run manually.
Missed deadlines trigger fines and citations — even shutdown. Keeping up with sampling, reporting, and regulatory calendars is relentless.
Reports that should take minutes instead take hours. Chasing paper and assembling data from scattered sources drains time you don't have.
Knowledge walks out when operators do. Board members leave and take their experience. Critical context lives in people's heads, not in any system.
Filing cabinets, old laptops, piles of notebooks. Nothing is in one place. Finding what you need — or proving what you did — takes far too long.
We help two groups of water utility operators.
Part-time operators, volunteer board, no IT staff. Tight budgets, but real compliance deadlines. You need a simple, reliable tool that handles the system without requiring technical expertise.
One tool covers every site you manage. Consistency across locations, efficient reporting, and a platform your clients can also access — so everyone is looking at the same picture.
Core features are available now, with more on the way. Everything in one place, accessible from your phone or your desk.
Log readings on your phone, sync instantly. iOS and Android, works offline. No paper, no lost data, no end-of-day catch-up.
Bacteriological and chemical results with full test history. Know what's been tested, what's due, and what's trending.
Monthly and annual reports that assemble themselves from readings you already took. Stop scrambling at month's end.
All your sites and equipment in one place. Full asset management with map view.
Managing multiple systems? See all of them in one dashboard. Consistent workflows, shared visibility, one login.
Paper backup forms always available. Easy scan-in. Works even when the field has no cell signal — syncs when you're back.
A few minutes with Clearwell tells the story best.
Operators capture field measurements from their phone — no paper, no lost data. Readings sync instantly and show up in every report.
The dashboard shows all readings, what's still due, upcoming deadlines, and what's trending — in one glance.
Built automatically from readings you already took. One click, ready to submit — no scrambling, no re-entering data.
