Company Starts
Applied Wastewater Technology opens for business.
It all started in 1984 when a small group of visionaries created Applied Wastewater Technology to serve the Northeast.
Our roots were formed in operations management and as we grew to fit the demands of our clients we developed design, build, and ownership capabilities. Through acquisitions and strategic partnerships, we have grown from a regional to an international powerhouse. We have been fortunate to work on ground-breaking water reuse projects that formed the water reuse and recycling industry. Many can say they have experience – we can say we helped to create the industry and continue to innovate with each new project.
