Cost-effective solutions are a top priority for government entities. Garratt-Callahan teams have experience working collaboratively and can calculate potential savings from custom water treatment solutions.  By optimizing resource management and enhancing operational efficiency, we help cut treatment costs while maintaining the highest water quality and safety standards.

G-C also understands the unique needs of military bases, municipal water systems, and GSA contracts. We provide tailored training to help military bases meet standards, municipal water systems enhance community services, and streamline GSA contract procurement. We aim to ensure safe water, compliance, and efficiency across these sectors.

Certified Laboratory & Expert Support

As your ally in water treatment, we give you access to all our products and services. Our accredited Analytical Laboratory complies with both State and Federal EPA regulations. We utilize advanced instrumentation to assess your water chemistry and equipment status accurately.

A Century of Trust and Excellence

When a municipal water reclamation plant on the Central California Coast switched to a low-cost supplier, they faced a 30% drop in system recovery and a 40% increase in unit pressure. Turning to Garratt-Callahan, an emergency Clean-In-Place (CIP) procedure was conducted, restoring regular operation and preventing the annual wastage of 50 million gallons of water, saving $50,000 in membrane replacement costs.

Our company was more than 60 years old when the Environmental Protection Agency was founded in 1970, and we’ve maintained a relationship of cooperation with the EPA ever since. Our environmentally friendly G-C GreenTech programs were developed through years of research and field evaluation of “green” materials for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
