About Progressive Water Treatment and Water on Demand Inc

Once a government monopoly, clean water is going private. Local industries and communities are now treating and recycling their own water, helping to reduce the burden on municipal systems and save on fast-rising water rates while also responding to the challenge of climate change. That’s good for business and good for sustainability. Now, the innovative fintech, Water On Demand™, is enabling clean water to become an investable asset, open to main street investors, with the potential for generational royalties. In 2023, OriginClear contributed its Modular Water Systems division to give Water On Demand the downsized technology that businesses need for on-site water treatment and recycling. Later in 2023, OriginClear contributed Progressive Water Treatment, a 25-year veteran engineered solutions subsidiary based in McKinney, Texas, adding the ability to execute on larger and more prestigious installations.
