About
I've run water plants, written the chemical feed procedures operators use, and now travel internationally maintaining water and wastewater systems at U.S. Embassy sites. Bump Water Compliance brings that same discipline to small systems close to home.
Bump Water Compliance LLC provides compliance support, not legal advice. The system owner remains responsible for DEP compliance.
