Wastewater
Faced by challenges of aging infrastructure and growing community demands in an increasingly complex regulatory environment, wastewater utilities and water departments look for cost-effective solutions to upgrade and expand their collection and treatment systems.
ESA’s water resources experts help clients meet those challenges by effectively partnering with project engineers and utility managers from project inception. We investigate environmental opportunities and constraints; identify feasible alternatives that include sustainable approaches for siting, design and construction; prepare technical studies and compliance documentation; develop permit strategies and mitigation plans; and monitor mitigation compliance.
We guide clients to successful project completion through thorough analyses, established relationships with critical regulatory agencies, and effective public outreach. Whether the project is pilot-scale or a system-wide facilities plan, ESA adds value to every project team through our practical experience, technical expertise, regulatory understanding, and commitment to the success of our clients.
