Water Like An Oil Well™ can generate long-term royalties from private water treatment
CLEARWATER, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
OriginClear Inc. (OTC Pink: OCLN), which helps the world invest in clean water, announced today that its pioneering Water On Demand™ program has reached its first $1 million milestone in dedicated capital. The Company is evaluating the first pilot opportunity to enable a commercial customer to treat its dirty water by the gallon as a managed service, instead of the client having to come up with significant up-front capital.
In recent years, the Federal government has contributed progressively less money (see graph) to municipalities, leading to underfunded infrastructure and the need for industry and agriculture to do more water treatment on their own. (Source: Federal Budget Office)
This milestone is the first capital set aside from a private placement of up to $300 million, at least half of which is to be allocated to Water On Demand subsidiaries for investment in productive water systems, returning 25% royalties, calculated as net profits on their total investments. Investor royalty payments are secured by an interest in the underlying equipment as evidenced by a security agreement. The full terms are available at this page.
“For decades, everyday investors have earned generational royalties from oil and gas partnerships,” said Riggs Eckelberry, OriginClear CEO. “Now, investors can do the same with water, a far more essential commodity.
“Delivering water systems as a managed service is not new,” continued Eckelberry. “What’s new is the idea of enabling accredited investors to directly invest in clean water.”
To expand rapidly, OriginClear plans to work with regional water service companies to build and operate the water treatment systems it finances.
The Company is currently evaluating opportunities to fund private water treatment sites using Water On Demand capital. One potential client has a 50,000 gallon per day waste water treatment requirement. While no project is guaranteed, it represents an ideal pilot opportunity.
OriginClear has identified types of customers who could most benefit from a service-based offering. These include Mobile Home Parks or MHPs; campgrounds & RV parks; new real estate developments that are being built beyond city sewage systems; small to midsize commercial operators of food & beverage manufacturing such as breweries; food processing; flavor and fragrance manufacturing; smaller labs & compounding facilities; and agriculture specialty industries such as egg protein producers, supplements, spices, and CBD oil production.
“Due to the growing ability to work remotely, families are moving from cities to rural and semi-rural locations,” said Tom Marchesello, OriginClear COO. “This is driving housing developments in locations that are beyond the reach of sewage. That means contracting for private water treatment. Providing these services on a ‘pay for use’ model is much more affordable for a property owner or homeowner’s association.”
“There are many cases where onsite water treatment is preferable, and capital is lacking,” continued Marchesello. “We see an investing opportunity that over time, could become a principal way for businesses to deal with water treatment problems that are just not their core business.”
In recent years, the Federal government has contributed progressively less money (see graph) to municipalities, leading to underfunded infrastructure and the need for industry and agriculture to do more water treatment on their own.
In December 2021, OriginClear’s “Water On Demand” received prime time news attention when CEO Eckelberry was interviewed on Newsmax TV’s Wake Up America Sunday morning show. The interview is available here: https://youtu.be/WVzQohS21KA
