💧 Hawaiʻi is surrounded by water, yet freshwater is becoming one of its most vulnerable resources.

Declining rainfall, aging infrastructure, groundwater challenges, and growing demand are reshaping how the islands think about water. As these pressures continue to mount, water reuse is becoming an increasingly important part of Hawaiʻi’s long-term resilience.

In our latest blog, we explore why water recycling is gaining momentum across the state.

📥 + Download our case study to learn how Kuilei Place and Ālia became Hawaiʻi’s first permitted onsite greywater reuse systems.

As water costs rise and climate uncertainty grows, building resilience means looking beyond traditional water supplies.

Alternative water sources like rainwater and HVAC condensate can help reduce potable water demand, lower operational risk, and strengthen long-term building performance. 

Learn why forward-thinking building owners are beginning to view water as a strategic asset, not just another utility.

🏆 We’re excited to share that Epic Cleantec’s Co-Founder & CEO Aaron Tartakovsky has been recognized as one of @SevenFiftyDaily’s 2026 Drinks Innovators for helping redefine what’s possible in the beverage industry through water reuse.  

“We never set out to become a beer company. We set out to change the conversation around water reuse. Sometimes the best way to shift perceptions isn’t with another white paper, it’s with a great beer.”

Thank you to SevenFifty Daily for highlighting innovators pushing the beverage industry forward. Here’s to proving that sustainability and great beer can go hand in hand. 🍻💧

🍻 Our goal was never just to make beer. It was to change perceptions around water reuse.

Our recycled water beers, Shower Hour IPA and Laundry Club Kölsch, were created to demonstrate something simple: water should be judged by its quality, not by its history.

The results have exceeded our expectations. Since launching last fall, we've sold more than 23,000 cans, expanded into more than 100 retail locations, and even outsold some of the world's biggest beer brands at major events.

It's proof that when people experience recycled water firsthand, perceptions can change.

A big thank you to @Inc Magazine for telling the story of how one small beer is helping build confidence in a much bigger idea.

The world’s biggest sporting event also has a massive water footprint. ⚽

From irrigation to restrooms, cooling systems, and concessions, stadiums depend on large volumes of water to operate. As many 2026 World Cup host cities already face water stress, understanding how we use and reuse water has never been more important.

💧 Looking to better understand non-potable water reuse in Texas?

The @WateReuseAssoci has recently published a new guide covering everything from Type I and Type II reuse to treatment requirements, permitting, funding, and public outreach. 

We’re especially proud that Epic Cleantec’s COO, Megan Thomas, contributed to the guide through her work with the Water Environment Association of Texas (WEAT) Water Reuse Committee. Her expertise helped shape this valuable resource, supporting the advancement of water reuse projects across Texas.

🌧️ Rain is more than just weather, it’s an opportunity.

By capturing and reusing rainwater and stormwater for non-potable applications like irrigation, toilet flushing, and cooling, buildings can reduce water demand, lower operating costs, and strengthen resilience against drought and infrastructure challenges. 

Cities across the U.S. are already encouraging or requiring rainwater harvesting as part of their water conservation and stormwater management strategies, recognizing its role in creating more sustainable, climate-resilient communities.

As AI accelerates, so do questions about its impact on our water and energy systems.

Last week, Epic Cleantec's CEO & Co-Founder, Aaron Tartakovsky, joined Sean Elsbernd (SPUR), Chris Lander (XFRA/SPAN), and Jon Meyer (CAPTRUST) for a thoughtful discussion on one of the biggest infrastructure conversations of our time: How can we support the rapid growth of AI while building a more resilient future?

One message stood out throughout the discussion: innovation and sustainability don't have to be at odds.

While AI data centers will place new demands on water and power infrastructure, they also present an opportunity to rethink how we manage our resources. From water reuse and cooling strategies to grid modernization and distributed energy, the technologies needed to support this next generation of infrastructure are already being developed today.

Across the U.S. utilities are moving beyond traditional annual adjustments and adopting multi-year rate escalation plans, committing property owners to compounding water and sewer cost increases for the next 4–10+ years.

📈 Los Angeles: ~106% increase (2024–2028)
📈 Honolulu: ~115% increase (2026–2035)
📈 Seattle: ~32% increase (2025–2030)
📈 Chicago: 30% increase (2024–2029)

Aging infrastructure, regulatory requirements, climate resilience investments, and decades of deferred maintenance are driving structural changes that will permanently raise the cost of water and sewer service.

8 of the 11 U.S. @FIFAcom World Cup 2026 host venues face severe water stress.

As millions of fans prepare to watch the world’s biggest sporting event, many host cities are grappling with a growing challenge off the field: water scarcity.

From prolonged droughts to increasing demand and aging infrastructure, water stress is becoming a defining issue for cities around the world. The good news? Innovative solutions like onsite water recycling can help communities reduce pressure on local water supplies while building long-term resilience.

In our latest blog, we take a closer look at the host cities facing water challenges and what they can teach us about the future of water management: https://t.co/MAC0oGDiYZ

San Diego's water story is changing.

After decades of investment in water reuse, desalination, and storage, the region now has enough water supply to sell water beyond its borders.

But more water doesn't automatically mean lower costs. Utilities still need to fund major infrastructure investments, and ratepayers are seeing the impact. Sewer rates alone are projected to increase 62% over the next three years.

For building owners, that creates a clear opportunity. Onsite water recycling reduces both water demand and sewer discharge, helping lower utility costs while improving resilience.
