The problem
Small systems leave real money on the table.
The funding is out there. Knowing about it in time, and having the capacity to go after it, is the hard part.
Deadlines are scattered
State and federal funding opens and closes across several agencies. Miss a window and you wait another year.
No grant staff
Applications take time and expertise that a small system with a handful of people rarely has to spare.
Knowledge walks out the door
When a long-time operator retires, decades of understanding about your system can leave with them.

About
Water advice with a fixed point to steer by.
North Star Water Advisors was founded by Chris O'Byrne, a chemical engineer with a master's in environmental science who began his career in the pulp and paper industry, one of the most water- and treatment-intensive industries there is, and who later spent years teaching chemistry, physics, and environmental science before building a publishing company.
That combination is what North Star brings to the table: an engineer's grounding in water and treatment chemistry, a teacher's gift for making complex ideas plain, and a publisher's eye for a clear, genuinely useful guide. We work alongside operators, public works directors, and city officials to turn a confusing funding landscape into clear next steps, and to keep hard-won knowledge from being lost when a key person retires.
