120Water Among Finalists for Fast Company’s 2021 World Changing Ideas Awards

ZIONSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 10, 2025 — The challenges in water continue to grow. Regulations are evolving, infrastructure is aging, and communities expect more transparency than ever before. Meeting them takes more than technology alone. That’s why 120Water is bringing together trusted leaders who know the industry inside and out — operators, innovators and ecosystem builders — united around one goal: building the platform that makes water work for everyone.

Proven Product Leadership to Drive the Next Phase of Innovation

Mitchell Hensley has been promoted to senior vice president of product management and strategy. With a successful track record of scaling platforms at Amazon and Xylem, Hensley has built products used by millions worldwide. Now he’s applying that expertise to 120Water’s SaaS roadmap, leading the next phase of innovation as the company expands beyond compliance support into a comprehensive water quality management platform. “The water industry is ready for technology that not only helps utilities meet today’s compliance challenges but also prepares them for the future,” said Hensley. “We’ve got a huge opportunity to set a new standard for water quality management, simplifying how utilities meet requirements no matter how much they evolve over time.”

An Operator’s Perspective, Built Into the Platform

For Josh Hawley, the new director of water utility services, the work is personal. A certified water operator and recipient of the Indiana Rural Water Operator of the Year award, Hawley spent years running rural water systems before turning his focus to helping utilities modernize. At 120Water, he’s bringing that frontline perspective into the platform, helping to build tools shaped by those who’ve done the job and understand its challenges best. “As a water operator, I know firsthand how demanding and overwhelming compliance can be,” said Hawley. “At 120Water, I’m excited to help shape tools that don’t just check the compliance box but truly make life easier for the people keeping water systems running.”

Partnerships to Shape the Future of Water Quality

Collaboration has always been critical to solving water’s biggest challenges. As the new director of partnerships, Dan Harris will strategically expand 120Water’s partner programs and strengthen the ecosystem around its platform. Drawing on years of partnership strategy and ecosystem development experience at Xylem, Harris will focus on building strategic and technical alliances and integrations that accelerate progress across the industry. “Aging infrastructure, regulatory compliance, funding gaps and workforce constraints continue to challenge utilities across the country,” said Harris. “Solving those problems will require collaboration. At 120Water, I’m eager to build partnerships that connect people, technology and ideas — and ultimately improve the way we manage water quality across the industry.” Casey Myers, CEO of 120Water, said the appointments reinforce the company’s commitment to accelerate its mission to deliver solutions that truly make water work for everyone. “Our customers face complex challenges every day, from keeping up with new regulations to modernizing infrastructure to earning public trust,” said Myers. “By adding leaders with deep water operator experience, proven product innovation and a strong record of building industry relationships, we’re expanding our capabilities and delivering even more tangible value.” These additions build on 120Water’s momentum following its $43 million growth investment and recent launch of the PWS Insights platform. With strengthened expertise across operations, product and partnerships, 120Water is positioned to meet growing industry demands with even greater impact.

ZIONSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 18, 2025 — For many utilities, water quality compliance can feel unpredictable. Teams face evolving regulations, limited resources and data spread across different systems. With much of the process relying on institutional knowledge and inefficient tools, staying organized and on schedule is a constant challenge.

That pressure adds up. According to recent data, about 75 percent of drinking water violations result from missed or late samples. 120Water’s new product, Sample Manager, helps utilities address that challenge by improving reliability, transparency and coordination across people, programs and partners. The solution gives teams the structure they need to manage every sampling requirement with confidence and consistency.

Predictibility changes everything

Compliance shouldn’t depend on memory or manual reminders alone. Sample Manager helps utilities move from reactive firefighting to proactive management through connected schedules, clear task ownership and automated tracking. These capabilities help teams stay ahead of deadlines and prevent costly oversights.

By automating scheduling and surfacing tasks in real time, utilities can reduce missed samples and violations. Operators and managers gain a sense of control that improves both performance and confidence across the organization.

“Utility teams have the expertise and dedication. What they need are tools that make their work more predictable and consistent,” said Mitchell Hensley, Senior Vice President of Product and Strategy at 120Water. “Sample Manager reflects the realities of compliance, including shifting regulations, lean teams and the constant need for coordination. It helps create structure within a demanding and often fragmented process.”

Building confidence across teams

Sample Manager improves communication and accountability among departments, labs and State regulators by connecting program details, schedules and reporting in one place. The platform brings lab results into the system, integrates with state portals such as Drinking Water Watch (DWW) and connects to other operational tools. These integrations help teams avoid data gaps and reduce the time they spend reconciling data from multiple sources.

Plus, with access from the field, office or home, every team member stays aligned on deadlines, responsibilities and results. By increasing data visibility and accountability for everyone involved, Sample Manager helps utilities manage compliance more consistently and collaboratively.

A foundation for long-term reliability

Sample Manager represents the next step in 120Water’s evolution into a fully connected digital water quality management platform. With reliability, innovation and transparency built into every workflow, Sample Manager gives utilities a dependable system they can trust year after year to meet regulatory requirements and protect public health.

“This launch marks an important milestone in our platform vision and reinforces what 120Water has always stood for: supporting the people behind the process,” said Casey Myers, CEO of 120Water. “Compliance will always rely on human expertise, and Sample Manager empowers those experts to work with greater clarity, confidence and connection than ever before.”
