Experience-Driven Utility Guidance

Effective water and wastewater management requires more than technical knowledge; it demands visionary leadership that prioritizes public health, regulatory integrity, and fiscal responsibility. The ClearWater Solutions Leadership team brings extensive field and administrative experience to every partnership:

  • Executive Oversight: Led by Chief Executive Officer Bryce Mendenhall, who brings over 30 years of utility experience spanning local municipal government and private sector management.

  • Operational Execution: Driven by Chief Operating Officer Houston Black, whose 16+ year career within CWS ranges from certified operator to executive management, ensuring operational excellence across all municipal systems.

  • Client Advocacy & Community Commitment: Our leaders work directly alongside city councils, utility boards, and local staff to ensure transparent communication, long-term asset protection, and customized operational strategies.

Guiding the Future of Water Infrastructure

As communities face aging infrastructure, rising compliance standards, and workforce shortages, ClearWater Solutions Leadership provides the stability, scale, and technical depth required to navigate complex challenges. Our executives foster a company culture built on continuous operator training, strict environmental stewardship, and continuous safety protocols.

Whether directing complex capital management projects, modernizing collection systems, or managing complete municipal contract operations, our team remains focused on a single goal: protecting community health and enhancing quality of life through dependable, high-performing utility services.

Town Administrator Steve Miller

Town of Pendleton, SC
Finding qualified operators to manage the 3 million-gallon plant with expertise in multiple aspects of operations has always been an issue.  ClearWater brings not only their entire organization as a resource for my Council and management team, but they are genuinely concerned with the overall financial aspect encountered by everyone that runs a utility system.

Mayor Tony Ducker

City of Petal, MS
One of the things you often dread about a switch-out is the lack of communication and overall decrease in productivity. Clearwater communicated how they would handle everything and hit the ground running on day one. We were able to increase our service, and I couldn’t be happier about the going with them. One of our considerations was keeping pace with what the market is paying and state retirement that continues to rise. Every one of our employees was offered a job, and with a 401K Clearwater is able to attract and retain good personnel. Overall, we are getting things done, while Clearwater saves us money and headaches. It is a partnership, and I believe Clearwater has the same goals as the City.

Director of Public Works Jorge Gomez

ClearWater Solutions, LLC has gone above and beyond in operating and maintenance of the Hall County sewer system of 0.75 MGD plant, 19 pump stations, and over 350,000 LF of mains. They have provided a high quality of customer service to both Hall County staff and its citizens. I strongly recommend them for anyone who’s looking to hire an outstanding O&M company.
