At Environmental Water Services, we believe in a straightforward, transparent approach to municipal water and wastewater management. We empower local municipalities by plainly laying out all recommended courses of action, ensuring your facility gets the exact support it needs.
When your town is in a bind and needs immediate water or wastewater management assistance, you might not know exactly what type of help you need in order to achieve your water & wastewater goals. At Environmental Water Services, our goal is to act as a local wastewater management partner who values your city's long-term stability and financial focus.
While our process is simple, the value we bring to your community goes far beyond a standard wastewater contract. We understand that local leaders and facility managers are often caught between tight municipal budgets and strict regulatory demands.
Here is why Minnesota and Iowa municipalities and industrial users consistently choose to partner with Environmental Water Services:
Navigating municipal utility operations and deciding on the right wastewater contractor can be overwhelming. At Environmental Water Services, our goal is to educate our clients as much as help them. Here are a few answers to frequently asked questions about our client enrollment process:
The best way to start is by reaching out to schedule an initial meet and greet or an on-site assessment. We will come to your city office to introduce ourselves and learn about your specific needs.
During the assessment, our certified experts evaluate your entire infrastructure, from the collection system to the treatment plant. We look for areas of wasteful spending, neglected maintenance, and compliance risks.
We compile our findings into a transparent proposal that covers each recommendation. We proudly offer multiple alternatives and clear pricing so your city administrators can make the best decision for your taxpayers.
No. We value your financial health over endless contracts. In fact, one of our primary goals is to help train your local municipal staff so they can eventually take over operations and give your city complete control over its own assets.
Unlike large, anonymous contractors, we don't just walk in, tell you that you are doing things wrong, and demand you hire us. Here's how we take the time to understand your greatest weaknesses, whether in the distribution system, collection system, or wastewater plant, and provide a customized plan:
We start with an initial meet and greet, sitting with your city administrators to discuss your current operations and answer your questions.
Next, our certified operators conduct an on-site assessment, evaluating your plant's overall health and troubleshooting any immediate issues.
We provide a proposal that details our recommendations, providing you with any repair alternatives and cost information.
Once a plan is approved, we get to work right away, providing ongoing, transparent maintenance reports.
We take pride in providing a customized approach that larger outfits simply cannot match. By immersing ourselves in the towns we serve and attending local city council meetings, we’re able to build stable, long-term water and wastewater management partnerships.
