Our Company

Over the past 30 years, WMI’s Water Professionals have conserved hundreds of billions of gallons of water for our clients. WMI continually trains their personnel in leading water conservation techniques so our client can be assured of world class service in the areas of water demand management and conservation. Roughly two-thirds of our employees are involved with hands-on supervision or direct product installation.

Experience and proven results are the hallmarks of Water Management, Inc. WMI likes to measure and verify the savings on every project. As a consequence, we have learned through the years which products perform best in a specific situation producing the best combination of performance, price, and long term sustainable water savings. Maintenance and other operational costs are always considered in the analysis. The typical performance contract encompasses the following:

• An audit
• Water and sewer use and cost analysis
• Product and system recommendations
• Turnkey pricing
• Implementation
• Financing   
• Measurement and verification of savings

Essentially, WMI acts as consultant, developer/product specifier, and construction manager to provide a total package for our clients. In addition, the company has the ability to finance and maintain the equipment installed. WMI offers water savings and conservation solutions based on water modeling, experience, and expertise in the field.

WMI provides water auditing as a stand alone service. Increasingly, water utilities and facilities across the country are asking WMI to provide them with comprehensive detailed water audits. Detailed water audits are the most important first step in identifying and evaluating water conservation measures (WCM’s). The water audit cannot be done effectively from a desk chair. The detailed in-office water analysis is supported by field procedures, specialized tools and, of course, our experience.

Water meters can lose their accuracy as they age. As part of the detailed audit WMI will also review the existing meter data records (age, size, repair records, etc…) and determine the usage per building and usage per occupant per day. This information is cross referenced with expected water use from our water model to determine the potential under recording of existing water meters. If this is the case, our calculations can be verified by using portable flowmeters for water (incoming water) or wastewater (outgoing water). WMI has found that these M&V techniques work very well as a diagnostic tool for this type of application.

To accurately determine the total financial benefit associated with the water saving measures identified during the audit, it is important to understand the interrelationship of water and energy. Thus knowledge of current and projected water, wastewater, gas and electric utility rates is critical to performing a quality audit. WMI can provide a utility rate analysis as part of the initial audit which may reflect these interactions. This can be the difference between a project that is implemented and one that stays on the shelf in the office.

At WMI, we are not only dedicated to saving our clients money, but we also operate with the mission to preserve the earth's resources and protect our natural environment. This mission has developed out of the belief that WE ALL LIVE DOWNSTREAM!

Quality Statement

WMI is committed to maintaining high customer satisfaction with its innovative water efficiency programs. 

Why Conserve?

Through the early part of last century, the best engineering minds worked off the core principle that Mother Nature could rectify all of our pollution problems.  In fact, one adage that was taught in school was, “The solution to pollution is dilution.”

By the mid sixties, we as a nation discovered that Mother Nature was not able to filter everything we threw at her. The quality of the water in our rivers became worse than ever. Expensive treatment of municipal water was no longer adequate. In fact, it became clear that it would be less expensive to produce a higher quality end product if we eliminated pollution at the source rather than try to rectify the situation downstream.

As we enter this new century, the world has grown progressively smaller. Ocean dumping of contaminated sludge leads to problems in fish delivered to markets worldwide. DDT and pesticides banned in the USA return to our shores on fresh fruit and vegetables imported from foreign lands. The building of new reservoirs will take up more land, destroy rivers and natural ecosystems. New controls, processes and techniques are needed worldwide if we are to thrive as a civilization.  Industry and consumer groups must form partnerships to solve these critical environmental problems.

At Water Management, we develop programs that greatly reduce water usage for our clients. This, in turn, reduces the total capacity needs of both the water and sewer treatment facilities.  As water utility officials have discovered over the past decade, the least expensive source of increased capacity for these facilities is saving what we currently have.

Our environmentally focused standards not only include water efficiency, but energy conservation. Conservation can be interchanged with efficiency and efficiency is good for business. In addition to creating lower long term water and energy rate costs for our clients, water conservation lowers energy costs for municipalities by creating less demand on infrastructures. Over 10% of US electricity is used directly in the pumping and processing of water and wastewater.  Additionally, well designed site-specific water efficiency programs reduce energy costs related to domestic water heating by more than 25%.

At WMI, we are not only dedicated to saving our clients money, but we also operate with the mission preserve the earth’s resources and protect our natural environment.  Please help to conserve water, earth’s most precious natural resource.  Our children are depending on it, our rivers, streams, lakes and bays need it, and our planet deserves it.  Remember, we all live downstream.
