Our Clients Receive:
1
Integrated Solutions for utility cost reduction and resilience
At GRP|WEGMAN, we help municipal water and wastewater utilities reduce operating costs, modernize critical infrastructure, and protect ratepayers through integrated technical and financial solutions. As utilities face rising energy, chemical, equipment, and biosolids management costs, we focus on high-impact opportunities that improve performance, unlock funding, and convert savings into actionable capital plans. Our approach combines engineering execution with financial structuring, including monetized savings strategies, as-a-service models, and revenue generation so utilities can solve operational challenges with less budget pressure and greater long-term resilience.
2
BIOSOLIDS and biogas strategy
Biosolids management is becoming a strategic cost and resilience issue for utilities as disposal pathways tighten and costs continue to rise, with U.S. municipal biosolids management spending projected to grow from about $2.5 billion in 2025 to more than $4.8 billion annually by 2035. We help utilities evaluate technology options, quantify lifecycle economics, and structure implementation strategies that reduce risk while improving financial outcomes. For facilities with anaerobic digestion, we also develop business cases that compare on-site use, power generation, drying, and pipeline injection so leadership can pursue the highest-value biogas pathway with a clear financial rationale.
3
SCADA modernization and operational visibility
Effective utility operations depend on timely visibility and control. We design and deploy SCADA systems that strengthen real-time monitoring, accelerate response, and support better operating decisions across new and existing facilities. Whether the need is a new platform or phased expansion, we focus on scalable system architecture that improves reliability and gives operators more clear, actionable data.
4
ENERGy efficiency in water and wastewater operations
Energy is one of the largest controllable costs in water and wastewater treatment. We identify and implement demand-side improvements such as variable speed drives, optimized pumping and mixing, advanced aeration, and process control enhancements that reduce energy use without compromising treatment performance.
5
WATER LOSS reduction and revenue recovery
Water loss is a material financial issue, with U.S. utilities losing nearly 19.5% of treated drinking water before it reaches customers, representing more than $6.4 billion in uncaptured annual revenue. We help utilities target both real losses, such as leaks and bursts, and apparent losses, such as metering inaccuracies and billing errors. We accomplish this through disciplined assessment and prioritized remediation strategies. This approach helps recover revenue, conserve water, and improve system performance, which can often justify the cost of implementation over time.
6
Advanced Leak Detection and asset performance
Undetected leaks drive avoidable water loss and increasing repair and operating costs. We use modern leak detection methods to quickly identify probable leak locations, enabling faster intervention and more efficient deployment of maintenance resources. That means less wasted water, lower financial leakage, and stronger asset performance over time.
7
integrated value Creation and capital efficiency
Utilities create the most value when technical improvements and financial strategy are developed together. We identify utility-wide inefficiencies, quantify savings, and align projects with funding, incentive, and revenue-generation pathways that strengthen implementation feasibility. This integrated approach helps utilities improve reliability, manage cost pressures, and advance capital projects, which can reduce and even eliminate the need for rate increases.

With nearly three decades of experience transforming utility infrastructure, Dan Mack specializes in helping utilities unlock significant funding to upgrade critical infrastructure needs while mitigating financial risk as well as the risk of performance.
Between unfunded mandates and pressures on operating costs, local utilities must be creative in their approach to meeting quality standards and permits, while maintaining affordability. His focus on project funding including capital stacking, leveraging energy and operational savings as well as maximizing state and federal funding is a key to his customers success.
Dan's journey began in the United States Air Force, where he developed a foundation in precision engineering and infrastructure management. After completing his formal education, he spent nearly a decade as an energy engineer before transitioning to business development, where he's spent the last 20 years partnering with municipal leaders to accomplish more with less.
Whether you're looking to reduce operating costs, enhance utility performance, or achieve sustainability goals, Dan brings the technical expertise and practical experience to guide your utility through every step of the journey—from initial concept to funding strategies, implementation, and measuring success.
“Mr. Mack’s professionalism, honesty, and deep understanding of our needs were pivotal in the development and implementation a game-changing water infrastructure project for the City of Toledo. His commitment to our community’s success was evident every step of the way, delivering exceptional results for our citizens. His experience and creative thinking enabled us to self-fund a nearly $100M project through the project benefits generated by that project, with NO rate increase. This was a unique concept for us, and we were extremely pleased with the outcome.”
— Edward Moore, City of Toledo, Director of the Department of Public Utilities (Retired)
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the exceptional work completed by Mr. Mack and his team on a comprehensive wastewater plant improvement project he developed for me at the City of Warren. His expertise and dedication were evident at every step, from design to installation of the new 650HP aeration blower and advanced D.O. controls to upgrading our SCADA systems for demand side management, pumping stations and incinerator. These improvements transformed our plant with state-of-the-art upgrades, improving efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. Thanks to his commitment to quality and innovation, our wastewater system is now more capable of meeting the needs of our community for years to come. His design-build approach included guaranteed outcomes and was all completed within our existing rate structure. I highly recommend engaging Dan for any municipal infrastructure project, his unique vision for the future of waste water makes him an invaluable asset”
— Bryan Clor, Former City of Warren, Michigan Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent
