BlueServ in Action
About BlueServ
BlueServ was founded by Eric Purnell. Over 16 years ago, he also started Allied
Companies, a civil engineering firm that has served as the Program Manager for the
largest and most advanced wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the world. In that
capacity, his firm managed the $2.1 Billion wastewater treatment plant expansion which
improved several technical processes, a few of which include:
- Denitrification,
- Enhancing existing tanks for nitrification, as well as
- Building an 890-million-gallons-per-day (mgd) pump station,
- Post-aeration facilities, new channels and conveyance structures
Our Approach
BlueServ is guided to bring a new economy of skills, training and development to youth
and adults challenged by water contamination. Our approach is unique as our
leadership, teams of instructional design, engineers and water science professionals
have decades of research and experience in our respective fields.
Considering the water crisis faced by many challenged communities, there is a profound
underrepresentation of water governance. Couple this with a lack of employment and
education opportunities for lower income youth and it becomes clear that it is critical we
continue to offer students the most impassioned, empowering, and exciting water
science education learning opportunities possible.

A Framework for How We Work
Our why and the need for training
- Contaminated water is a national issue and can be a National Security issue
- There is substantial evidence that contaminated water harms all aspects of life here
In the US. Consider the following:
- - World Health Organization (WHO) states that waterborne diseases such as PFAS, are a leading cause of irreversible illness and death. Shortage of critical works at treatment plants and other critical locations that require maintenance or upgrades, would surely increase those risks.
Texas Water Foundation study
- More than 60 percent of respondents reported that they are currently experiencing workforce-related challenges, and 76 percent indicated hiring and retaining qualified employees as a medium to high risk to their organizations in the future.
- “Water utilities across Texas are facing a shortage of qualified personnel to operate their systems,” said Jeremy Mazur, Senior Policy Advisor of Texas 2036.
- “The success of any state investment in water infrastructure ultimately hinges on the availability of qualified personnel to operate those systems.”
