Each step brought us closer to making water reuse the new norm.
Let’s take a look back at the highlights from this truly EPIC year:

Our CEO and co-founder, Aaron Tartakovsky, joined Travis Loop of Waterloop for a behind-the-scenes look at San Francisco’s first approved greywater recycling project.
February marked growing momentum in water reuse, from welcoming new talent, including Jack Cavanagh as our Wastewater Project Manager in the Bay Area, to expanding in key markets.
In March, the Epic team traveled to Austin for SXSW, where our CEO, Aaron Tartakovsky, joined Newsha Ajami of Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Katherine Jashinski of Austin Water, and Samantha Flores of Corgan on stage for a thought-provoking panel on the future of water reuse.
In April, our team took off for our annual company retreat to reconnect, align on goals, celebrate our successes, and explore new ideas for advancing water reuse in the built environment.
May marked a meaningful moment of leadership with the addition of Alexis Pelosi and Bill Brennan to our Advisory Board. Alexis brings deep expertise in climate resilience from her recent role as Senior Advisor for Climate at HUD, while Bill adds a strong foundation in water stewardship shaped by current and past leadership roles across multiple sustainability-focused organizations.
