As CEO of ReWater Systems, Stephen (Steve) Bilson guides a Thousand Oaks, California, company that pioneered the first regulations-compliant greywater irrigation system in the US and has led the evolution of those systems to their current low maintenance, high ROI state. Since 1990, Steve Bilson has overseen a diversity of projects, from those that save residential customers hundreds of dollars on annual water bills to complex commercial systems that produce major savings in both metered water and wastewater costs.
Stephen Bilson has supervised or overseen the supervision of hundreds of landscaping projects that incorporated ReWater's greywater irrigation systems and has sold the largest number of such systems statewide, by most estimates more than all other companies combined. According to data provided by decades of experience in the real world of apartment construction and management, savings from ReWater's multi-family systems pay for the system within a few years and return profits over the duration of the building's life.
As water and wastewater treatment rates continue to rise, those savings increase even more. Both the water and wastewater sectors are predicted to rise by double digit percentages this next decade as they did the last, making an investment in water reuse technology an investment grade decision. ReWater's recent announcement of their new potable-water-less sand filter graywater irrigation system and sixth generation controller sets the bar even higher.
Steve Bilson recently cooperated with numerous environmental and labor groups to get an ordinance in place at the sprawling City of Los Angeles that requires greywater to be separated for later use in all new multi-family construction. According to Marcus & Millichap, a leading commercial real estate investment services firm, new multi-family construction in 2017 is up 61% over 2016 and will rise even higher in 2018. Steve Bilson is leading ReWater into 2018 poised better than ever to capitalize on that large potential market.
