INDIANAPOLIS (July 19, 2021) – For the second consecutive year, 120Water – the nation’s leading provider of lead compliance and water quality management solutions – was named to Government Technology’s annual GovTech 100 list for 2021.
In its sixth year, the GovTech 100 honors companies that help state and local governments execute work that effectively serve communities across the United States. The government technology market accelerated in 2020 despite the pandemic, with companies on the list collectively raising over $280 million in new capital last year, while delivering impact at the local, regional and national level.
120Water’s solution, which consists of software, professional services and sampling kits, helps government agencies at all levels run critical water quality programs such as lead and copper compliance, school and daycare sampling and COVID-19 wastewater monitoring. To date, 120Water’s solutions have been implemented across 26 states including 8 statewide contracts.
“Overnight, government offices were forced to adapt to conditions beyond their control while continuing to operate critical functions to keep communities safe and government functioning,” said Megan Glover, co-founder and chief executive officer of 120Water. “We saw a massive divide among those who possessed the digital systems that allowed them to adapt in rapid times versus those that were lagging in their digital journey.”
As the current administration develops the infrastructure package and finalizes the revised Lead and Copper Rule, government officials will require better solutions to achieve compliance and mitigate risk more than ever.
“Since our company’s inception, our mission has been to build solutions that water professionals use to protect public health. Now, with stricter regulations on the horizon by way of the revised Lead and Copper Rule and a stronger federal push to replace our nation’s aging water infrastructure, we are eager to support our clients in meeting these ever increasing demands.”
“Although 2020 was an unprecedented year of rapid change and disruption, we saw gov tech companies rapidly adapt their services and solutions to help state and local government agencies navigate the uncertainty,” said e.Republic Chief Innovation Officer Dustin Haisler, who was heavily involved in the list’s creation.
