TSG Water Resources

What TSG Water Resources does

TSG Water Resources is a private US-headquartered (Gainesville, Florida) water and wastewater treatment specialist founded in 1993. The company designs, builds, finances, and operates desalination and wastewater treatment plants, primarily serving luxury resort and hotel properties and large real-estate developments in water-scarce locations. Its core technology stack is centered on reverse osmosis for seawater (SWRO) and brackish water, supplemented by Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) wastewater treatment, with proprietary offerings including the BiTurbo™ high-recovery SWRO system developed with FEDCO (delivering up to 50% more product water from the same feedwater) and TSG Remote Care, a 24/7 remote monitoring and analytics platform for alarm notifications, custom dashboards, anomaly detection, and predictive reporting. Systems are sized up to 5 million gallons per day, with commissioned projects such as a 1.4 MGD BiTurbo SWRO plant in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The company generates revenue through a mix of long-duration service contracts and discrete project work. The signature offering is the Private Water Utility model, in which TSG provides 100% of project capital and recovers it via up to 20-year fixed-cost-of-water service agreements, with optional equipment title transfer to the client for $1 at term end. Long-Term Operation & Maintenance contracts run 2-20 years and cover on-site staffing by operators, technical specialists, and engineers, with TSG optionally absorbing parts/consumables risk. Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC) delivers turnkey design and build for new plants and upgrades of any manufacturer's existing equipment, and a Public Water Utility division (TSG Water Partners) provides project-financed utilities to Latin American/Caribbean developments. An e-commerce storefront monetizes the installed base with LG Chem RO membranes, Danfoss APP pumps, CAT pumps, and TSG-branded cartridge filters.

Distribution is direct enterprise field sales through a corporate headquarters and 8 country offices staffed with named regional General Managers across Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, the British and US Virgin Islands, Mexico (including the BCS region), St. Kitts and Nevis, and Turks and Caicos, with related industry events and sponsorships supporting top-of-funnel presence. The named customer base spans Four Seasons, Marriott International (including Marriott Vacation Club), Ritz-Carlton, Park Hyatt, Discovery Land Company, and Viceroy Hotels, with stated reach into industrial, commercial, and public-sector segments as well. The company is led by President & CEO Jason Erickson, with Chair Donald L. Mayer and Vice Chair Jonathan D. Sprague on the Board, and a leadership team organized around Asset Reliability, Design & Construction, Business Development (corporate and Atlantic regions), and Human Resources.
