Most violations aren’t about water quality. They’re about tracking and reporting.

Because without the right tools, it's impossible to keep up.

120Water gives utilities clear visibility across assets, sampling, communications, and reporting, so nothing gets missed as requirements expand and programs grow.

Episode 16: George Hawkins - The Moonshot Mindset

In this episode of the Make Water Work Podcast, Megan Glover and Isaac Pellerin sit down with the former GM of DC Water and current founder of Moonshot Missions, George Hawkins, for a fast-moving conversation about what it really takes to modernize utilities, especially the ones with the fewest resources.

George shares how a childhood moment in Cleveland, including seeing a polluted river that later caught fire, shaped his life in water and why he believes the “health of a place” is written in its water. From there, he dives into the hard, practical truth: we cannot fund our way out of the water crisis without changing how utilities operate.

Why Thornton, CO Partnered with 120Water to Tackle Sampling and Customer Engagement

When a change in treatment coagulants left the City of Thornton, CO, on an increased monitoring schedule, the water quality team knew they would need outside support to tackle sampling for the 150,000+ residents in their community.

May 9, 2022

The Challenge

As the 6th largest water provider in the state, the increased sampling requirements would create additional burdens and strain resources of the Thornton, CO team. Nearby, the city of Loveland, CO, had worked with 120Water for their sampling and recommended Thornton partner with them as well. In need of scalable support quickly, Thornton contracted 120Water for sample kit distribution and logistics, resident communication regarding kits and lab support for samples.

It's Not Goodbye, It's Just See You Later

After six months of sampling work with 120Water, the purchasing department at Thornton felt it was necessary to reopen the bid and allow other vendors to submit proposals. Ultimately, the City went with another vendor who was more cost effective. After one full contract year with another vendor, the City of Thornton noticed a significant decrease in performance. While the vendor tried their best, they were unable to match 120Water’s quality of service: sample return rates dropped, customer contacts were inconsistent, and results were not reported as promptly.

"Unfortunately, the other vendor struggled to match the high level of service provided earlier by 120Water. They did not appear vested in our success and did not seem as prepared to do the many tasks as 120Water, who excels in their field." - Hsueh Shih

The 120Water Difference

After a year of frustration with another vendor, water quality officials felt that it was time to switch back to 120Water to not only improve their internal experience and productivity but that of their residents as well. Since restarting the partnership with 120Water for their sampling, Thornton has seen:• Improved return rates on sample kits• Friendly, dedicated customer service for their team and their residents• A simple-to-use dashboard to see the status of kits from home delivery to lab on demand• Consistent, weekly updates on program status from the 120Water team• Resident communication and education via mail and phone (available in Spanish or English)By taking the time to explore other options, the City of Thornton ultimately returned to partnering with 120Water because they recognized the value and increased productivity when working with a company aligned with their goals and dedicated to their success.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of choosing a water quality management platform?

New regulations are asking water utility teams to inventory, test, communicate, and report – and it’s often a big ask to coordinate everyday management. Our water monitoring software streamlines compliance, boosts transparency, and reduces risk, so you can focus on protecting public health.

What if our utility’s service line data isn’t perfect?

You’re in good company. Few systems start with clean data. 120Water helps you centralize records, identify unknowns, and work toward accurate inventories with confidence – step by step.

Does 120Water manage LCR sampling and customer sampling requests?

Yes! Whether you’re shipping compliance kits or responding to resident requests, 120Water’s utility software automates fulfillment, reminders, lab coordination, and reporting. No more tracking kits and results across inboxes and spreadsheets.

Do connectors and goosenecks need to be included in my 2027 LCRI inventory submission? 

Yes. Under LCRI, goosenecks and connectors must be identified and reported because they may contain lead components that affect service line classification. 

Do you offer managed services? 

Yes. Our team scales to meet your capacity and your goals. Whether you need software only or full program support, our team can help with kit logistics, customer outreach, reporting, and more.

Does 120Water work for small utilities with limited staff or tight resources? 

Yes! Many of our customers are small systems with limited staff and tight budgets. With automation, templated workflows, and hands-on support, 120Water helps you manage – and lighten – the workload. 

What records can I use to identify EPA lead service line inventory and material? 

Common resources for identifying lead service line inventory include tap cards, installation records, plumbing codes, meter records, and field verification. 120Water helps to centralize and validate these sources for LCRI compliance.
