Family Owned & Operated Since 1980
Our team at Clear Water Filtration has spent over four decades serving the water treatment needs of government agencies and municipal facilities throughout Vermont. When public buildings require reliable, compliant water systems that protect employees, visitors, and community members, we bring the expertise that comes from holding multiple government contracts for PFAS/PFO treatment across the state.

We understand that municipal water systems demand a different level of accountability than residential installations. Government facilities must meet strict EPA regulations, maintain detailed compliance documentation, and ensure uninterrupted service to the public. Our family-owned company has built lasting relationships with municipalities throughout Waitsfield, Burlington, Montpelier, and communities across Vermont because we deliver on these requirements every single time.
Whether your municipal building faces emerging contaminant concerns like PFAS and PFOA, struggles with legacy infrastructure issues involving iron or manganese, or needs comprehensive water quality upgrades to meet updated federal standards, our licensed plumbers and water treatment specialists bring the technical knowledge and hands-on experience your project demands.
As a Water Quality Association member and Vermont Rural Water Association participant, our owner Jen Fleckenstein serves on the Technical Advisory Committee to the Governor of Vermont, ensuring we stay at the forefront of regulatory developments and treatment technologies.
Municipal Water Challenges
Government and municipal buildings across Vermont face water quality challenges that require specialized expertise and proven solutions. Our team at Clear Water Filtration works with town halls, fire stations, police departments, community centers, libraries, and other public facilities to address the full spectrum of water treatment needs.
Many municipal buildings in Vermont were constructed decades ago when water quality standards differed significantly from today's requirements. These older facilities often contain:
Our team specializes in evaluating existing municipal infrastructure and developing upgrade plans that address current deficiencies while anticipating future regulatory changes.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as PFAS and PFOA, have emerged as one of the most significant water quality concerns facing Vermont municipalities. These "forever chemicals" persist in the environment and have been linked to serious health concerns.
Clear Water Filtration holds government contracts specifically for PFAS/PFO treatment, giving us direct experience with the technologies and protocols required to remove these contaminants from municipal water supplies.
If your government facility needs reliable water treatment solutions that meet EPA compliance requirements, the team at Clear Water Filtration is ready to help with comprehensive assessment and proven treatment technologies.
Municipal Partnership
Government agencies and municipal facilities throughout Vermont partner with our team because we understand the unique requirements of public sector water treatment projects.
We currently hold multiple government contracts for PFAS/PFO treatment across Vermont. This experience means we understand:
Our team brings the credentials that government facilities require:
Clear Water Filtration has operated as a family-owned business since 1980, now in our second generation of family leadership. This longevity means municipalities can count on us being here for the long-term service and support their water systems require.
We are not a national franchise that might exit the Vermont market—we are your neighbors, committed to serving our communities.
Municipal facilities cannot wait when water quality emergencies arise. We offer emergency service 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm, ensuring that government buildings can restore safe water service quickly when unexpected issues occur.
Our in-house manufacturing capabilities for service calls mean we can often provide same-day solutions rather than waiting for parts to ship from distant warehouses.
Small System Solutions
Many government and municipal buildings in Vermont operate on small water systems that serve fewer than 500 connections. These small systems face unique challenges:
Small public water systems must meet the same EPA standards as large municipal utilities but often lack the technical resources and budgets of larger operations. Our team helps small system operators:
For municipal buildings served by small systems or private wells, point-of-entry treatment provides whole-building water quality improvement. Our POE systems address:
Some municipal applications benefit from point-of-use treatment at specific fixtures where drinking water quality is critical. We install POU systems in:
Comprehensive Treatment
Government and municipal buildings throughout Vermont must provide safe drinking water to employees and visitors. Our contaminant removal services address the specific water quality challenges found in Vermont's groundwater and surface water sources.
Vermont's geology contributes naturally occurring minerals to many water sources. While not necessarily health hazards, these minerals cause:
Our Kinetico water softening systems and iron filtration equipment remove these minerals effectively.
Certain areas of Vermont contain naturally elevated levels of uranium and arsenic in groundwater. These contaminants require specialized treatment:
Older municipal buildings often contain lead plumbing components that contribute lead to drinking water. Our lead remediation approach includes:
Agricultural activities and septic systems can contribute nitrates to groundwater serving municipal facilities. Nitrate contamination is particularly concerning because:
Our team designs nitrate treatment systems that maintain safe levels year-round while minimizing operational costs.
Emerging research has identified microplastics as a growing concern in water supplies. Forward-thinking municipalities are beginning to address this contaminant through:
Comprehensive Assessment
Effective municipal water treatment begins with thorough testing and evaluation. Our comprehensive assessment process includes:
We perform detailed water testing that goes beyond the minimum required parameters to identify:
Beyond water quality testing, we evaluate existing treatment infrastructure to determine:
Based on testing and evaluation results, we provide detailed recommendations that include:
Regulatory Support
Municipal facilities must navigate complex federal and state water quality regulations. Our team provides compliance support including:
The federal Safe Drinking Water Act establishes baseline requirements for public water systems. We help municipal facilities:
Vermont often adopts water quality standards that exceed federal minimums. Our involvement with the Vermont Rural Water Association and Jen's service on the state Technical Advisory Committee keeps us current on:
Compliance requires thorough documentation. We help municipal clients:
Commercial Grade Equipment
Municipal water treatment requires commercial-grade equipment capable of handling high flow rates and continuous operation. We specify equipment from manufacturers with proven municipal track records:
