Meet the founder

Andrew Dugan
Founder & CEO
Andrew Dugan, PE, is the founder and sole operator of WaterWrites, a content marketing practice serving the water and wastewater industry. He is a licensed professional engineer who spent the early part of his career working on water infrastructure projects and later as a manufacturer's representative, selling technical equipment into utilities and consulting engineering firms. According to the site, he discovered copywriting during that stretch, frustrated by how flat most water-sector marketing brochures read compared to the stakes of the work they described.
The thesis behind WaterWrites is straightforward: the water industry has no shortage of technical expertise, but a chronic shortage of writers who understand it. Marketers at equipment manufacturers, consulting engineers, and water-tech companies routinely hire generalist agencies that can string a sentence together but cannot tell the difference between a lift station and a clarifier. Dugan positions himself as the translator between engineering substance and marketing narrative — someone who can interview a utility director, understand what actually keeps them up at night, and package it into a case study or trade article that the target audience recognizes as credible.
The public founder story is intentionally brief; the site reads as a solo practitioner's shingle rather than an agency with a layered team page. There is no mention of employees, partners, or acquisitions, and the services and pricing pages reinforce that this is a specialist operator rather than a firm. The positioning is consistent throughout: an engineer who writes like a marketer, aimed squarely at B2B water-sector communicators.
Editorial
Editor’s take
**WaterWrites** positions itself as a specialist in water and wastewater sector B2B content marketing, with the founder's civil engineering background serving as the core differentiator that sets the agency apart from generalist content providers. The agency's focus is on translating technically complex product narratives into messaging that resonates with utility decision-makers — a niche requiring both industry fluency and marketing craft. A testimonial featured on the site reinforces their credibility with clients operating in this highly specialized space.
What they do
Services
Case Studies
Productized customer success stories for water-tech vendors and engineering firms, priced as one-off ($2,000) or three-packs ($5,500). Dugan interviews manufacturers' reps, end users, and utility staff to produce 800-word studies that other engineers and utility decision-makers recognize as authentic.
White Papers and eBooks
Long-form technical marketing assets written for water industry audiences. Positioned as a way for manufacturers and consulting engineers to document expertise without pulling their own senior technical staff away from billable work.
Trade Magazine Articles
Ghostwritten feature articles aimed at water-sector trade publications. The pitch is that engineering fluency lets him ask sharper interview questions and surface angles that resonate with utility readers, rather than producing the generic vendor-voice copy common in the space.
Publication Placement
Editorial strategy and pitching support for getting water industry articles placed in trade outlets, plus post-publication promotion. Sold as an add-on so clients don't leave finished content sitting unused after a campaign ends.
Blogging
Ongoing blog content for water industry company websites, framed as both SEO asset and a venue to address technical objections from utility and engineering buyers. Emphasis is on consistency and staying relevant to a narrow, technical readership.
Web Copy
Website copywriting for water sector manufacturers, tech companies, and consulting engineers, including launches and refreshes. The selling point is translating highly technical products into language a utility director or plant operator finds human.
