The ClearWater Solutions project in Lanett, AL is now under new leadership. Jared Barker was recently hired as the new Project Manager.
“This is exciting news for our Lanett team,” said Torrey Jones, CWS State Director for Alabama. “It’s only been a couple of weeks and Jared is already excelling in this role.”
Jared brings over six years of experience in plant management and holds an Alabama Grade IV Wastewater Operator certification. He has a strong track record in leading and overseeing plant operations, managing resources, and driving improvements in performance, efficiency, and productivity. Jared is highly skilled in enforcing policies, procedures, and industry best practices, as well as diagnosing and resolving operational issues to ensure smooth and compliant plant operations.
Jared’s technical background includes routine maintenance such as tank cleaning, filter changes, equipment lubrication, and minor repairs. He regularly conducts water quality testing—monitoring parameters like pH, chlorine residual, and turbidity—and keeps accurate records of daily operations, including chemical usage, equipment readings, and maintenance activities. He works closely with team members to perform scheduled facility inspections for regulatory compliance, assists in developing standard operating procedures (SOPs), and partners with laboratory staff to analyze results and adjust treatment processes accordingly.
