StreamGo has appointed water industry veteran Steve Watzeck as its new CEO. Alongside the leadership change, the firm introduced a dual-process system designed to capture and destroy PFAS contaminants in water supplies.
Why it matters
The company aims to address widespread water contamination using a technology that significantly reduces the volume of residual waste streams. This launch coincides with heightened federal efforts to combat PFAS, a persistent chemical concern found in tap water across 21 countries.
StreamGo projects triple-digit revenue growth through 2027, bolstered by a system that reduces residual PFAS stream volume by 1000x. The initiative follows an EPA announcement of $1 billion in funding to address PFAS contamination.

Market Landscape
StreamGo is positioning itself to capture market share created by the EPA's 2026 PFAS funding program, which provides significant capital for chemical remediation. By offering a smaller footprint and lower energy use, the firm aims to outcompete traditional treatment methods.
As water treatment plants adopt these new systems, residents in affected areas may see improvements in local water safety and quality standards. The technology could also influence municipal utility budgets by offering a lower-energy alternative for PFAS removal.
The takeaway
The intersection of new federal funding and proprietary filtration technology highlights a major shift toward rapid PFAS remediation. Homeowners and local officials should monitor the deployment of these systems as they become more common in public water infrastructure projects.
