SwiftComply Launches Next-Gen Pretreatment Module, Setting a New Standard for Water Compliance
Built by former utility leaders, the new module reflects a commitment to getting compliance right – not just fast. PLEASANTON, Calif., June 18, 2025 /CNW/ -- SwiftComply, the software platform built specifically for water utility compliance, today announced the launch of its new Pretreatment module, a specialized, smart system for managing industrial wastewater oversight. Developed over multiple years in close collaboration with municipal leaders, the release signals SwiftComply's deepening commitment to transforming how utilities manage regulatory programs. 2025 has marked a breakout year for SwiftComply. The company secured a growth investment from M33 Growth, acquired CloudCompli and NPDESPro to expand its platform footprint, and was named Water Utilities Compliance Management Software of the Year by Utilities Tech Outlook. These milestones reflect SwiftComply's position as the category leader redefining how cities manage compliance — and accelerating its long-term vision: a connected, automated operating system for environmental regulation. "We've lived these programs, and we know how painful they can be," said Mick O'Dwyer, Founder and CEO of SwiftComply. "Pretreatment is one of the most complex and high-risk compliance programs. We knew we couldn't rush it. This launch reflects years of hard lessons, deep customer collaboration, and an obsession with getting it right." The Pretreatment module marks more than a product milestone - it's the clearest signal yet of SwiftComply's evolution into a full-stack compliance platform built for the modern water utility. Built by Practitioners, for Practitioners Founded by former utility professionals, SwiftComply understands pretreatment is one of the most complex and resource-intensive programs water utilities oversee, involving permitting, sampling, inspections, enforcement, and coordination with industrial users. SwiftComply's module modernizes every step of that process. The company's first-hand experience shaped every aspect of the Pretreatment module. Key capabilities include: Smart Permitting: Codifies permit conditions directly in the system with configurable logic and one-click generation. Removes guesswork from compliance by enabling "set-and-forget" oversight of industrial user obligations. Full Data Connectivity Across the Compliance Workflow: Links permits, limits, and sample reports with forward- and backward-compatible lifecycle logic. Every data point flows where it needs to. No more duplication or hidden risk. Automation at the Core: Automated workflows for scheduling, compliance calculations, and data imports reduce manual labor and eliminate opportunities for human error. Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)-Compliant Digital Records: Multiple early access customers have received Environmental Protection Agency approval for their pretreatment programs using SwiftComply as the CROMERR-compliant system of record. This real-world validation underscores the platform's readiness to support compliant digital reporting at scale. While integration across Stormwater, FOG (fats, oils, and grease), and Backflow is still in development, the Pretreatment module is a cornerstone of SwiftComply's long-term vision: a unified compliance platform for the modern water utility. Now Operational with Early Access Partners SwiftComply's Pretreatment module is now live with early access partners across North America. These early implementations are focused on core functionality, with continued enhancements and partner-driven refinements planned throughout 2025. Early User Finds Real Impact Battle Creek, MI, has been a SwiftComply customer since 2024. With a population of more than 50,000, the city has 12 industrial users and is an early user of the Pretreatment module. "Setup was straightforward, and we are pleased to have all of our data in one place," said Sarah Newton-Peacock, Lab/IPP Group Supervisor for Battle Creek. "The user interface is intuitive, and the support has been excellent. Our industrial users are also excited to start using the system." A Different Kind of Govtech Company SwiftComply doesn't sell general-purpose software. Its mission is clear: reduce administrative burden for utility teams and increase compliance. Every product decision is filtered through that lens. "We're not here to create software that just checks boxes," said O'Dwyer. "We're here to make the job easier, reduce risk, and ensure cities stay compliant across local, state, and federal regulations."

Green light for statue of legendary Kerry cyclist Mick ‘Ironman' Murphy
It is now hoped that this will be achieved with a specially designed statue of the legend in his home town of Cahersiveen. Such a statue will put Mick Murphy up there alongside other renowned Kerry legends not least the late Mick O'Dwyer whose statue stands proud in Waterville as does one of John Egan in Sneem. It has been the long-held dream of a local committee comprised of friends of the legendary cyclist to honour Mick's achievements as an athlete and they have now been given the green light to erect this statue but they are some way off finalising their plans yet. It has been hoped to have the statue put in place this year to mark the 10th anniversary of this death but this now won't be possible as it is hoped to get grant aid to help towards the cost. However, Kerry County Council have given a provisional green light for the statue in the town park in Cahersiveen. This is good news for the committee who will now move towards the next stage which is to get funds together. Substantial funds have already been raised to date through a local cycle that ran for many years in his honour and these combined with grant aid will hopefully help the statue come to fruition. Mike Greaney, who came up with the idea of the cycle and statue, and has played a key role in the project said it is good news that the council have agreed in principle to the idea but he said more work has to be done. "As of a few weeks ago we got a letter of approval for the statue in the town park subject to the design and now paperwork will be put in order for grant-aid.' Cllr Norma Moriarty had called on Kerry County Council to work with the local committee to make this project a reality and is hopeful that more support will be forthcoming to honour one of the county's greatest. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more Mick 'The Ironman' Murphy is part and parcel of the sporting history in Kerry given his awe-inspiring feats he accomplished chief among them to come from nowhere to win the Ras Tailteann back in 1958. He was born in Sugreana, Cahersiveen in 1934 into a farming family and in his youth and teenager years he became interested in bodybuilding and strong men and circus acts and made an income from circus feats. Ultimately he also took up running and he excelled in that too but turned to cycling and became the legend he is today. The stories that surround Mick Murphy known as 'The Ironman' are legendary as the man himself but many though unique are indeed true including that he rode for several days with a broken collar bone. He also drank cow's blood and ate raw meat and trained with weights made from stone.
