What WWaterTech does
WWaterTech, Inc. is a manufacturer's representative firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Waller, Texas, that connects municipal water and wastewater clients in Texas and Oklahoma with equipment from approximately 60 represented manufacturers. The company does not develop proprietary technology; instead, it curates a portfolio spanning aeration and blower systems, gravity and pressure filtration, UV and ozone disinfection, biological treatment (MBBR/IFAS), biological odor control (e.g., BioAir), sludge dewatering and thickening equipment, mixing and pumping systems, and water storage and conveyance infrastructure. Its role is to assist municipal engineers, consultants, water districts, and public-utility leaders with equipment specification, manufacturer selection, and post-installation performance support across facility creation, expansion, and rehabilitation projects.
WWaterTech operates through three regional sales offices covering North Texas & Oklahoma (Bedford), Southeast & Central Texas (Waller), and South Texas (McAllen), and markets primarily through industry associations (WEF, AWWA, Texas Rural Water Utilities Association, Oklahoma Rural Water Association) and technical seminars. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis via commissions from the equipment manufacturers it represents; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company employs between 11 and 50 people, including licensed Professional Engineers and a Certified Property Manager, and is supported by management including founder/former owner Steve Holt, executive Wes Holt (now branch manager), and a sales, project management, marketing, and accounting team.
Effective April 22, 2026, WWaterTech was acquired by Tencarva Machinery Company, which is backed by private equity firm Bessemer Investors, to expand Tencarva's municipal market presence in the South Central U.S. Following the transaction, WWaterTech operates as a subsidiary of Tencarva, with founder Steve Holt transitioning to an advisory role. The acquisition reflects ongoing consolidation in industrial distribution and water infrastructure, where PE-backed buyers are attracted by fragmented regional markets, recurring maintenance demand, and long-term public-infrastructure spending.
