Charles “Chuck” Bragdon founded Water Saver Solutions in 2008 to meet the dual objectives of helping commercial and institutional facilities cut utility costs and comply with California’s mandate for 20% reduction in water use by 2020. A thorough understanding of healthcare regulations related to water usage has solidified a niche for WSS in this stringent environment.

Combining 22 years US Navy technical background with over ten years’ experience owning a home construction business, Chuck has developed a proprietary water assessment strategy for this highly regulated industry. The backbone of WSS’s methodology relies on accurate metrics that quantify the potential large-scale savings and qualify the end user for utility rebates and incentives. WSS identifies and helps obtain available rebates and incentives, reducing red tape and delivering maximum savings with a rapid return on investment. Thanks to WSS, healthcare facilities save millions of gallons of water and reduce utility operating expenses every year.

Chuck is a graduate of Goldman Sachs’ 10,000 Small Businesses, an intensive business education program developed by Babson College. Water Saver Solutions is a federally certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
