At Environmental Water Services, we empower local municipalities and significant industrial users with hands-on wastewater management and plant oversight, ensuring your facility runs compliantly and efficiently, so you can focus on strengthening your community.
Whether you are a rural town of a few hundred people or a high-volume industrial bio-refinery, mismanaging your wastewater can lead to devastating environmental and financial consequences. Our team at Environmental Water Services brings decades of industry experience to the table, providing transparent, down-to-earth wastewater support tailored to your specific operational needs.
Since our inception, we've specialized in serving local governments, from small towns to mid-sized municipalities with populations ranging from 1,200 to 5,500. We work directly with mayors, city administrators, city staff, and engineering companies to evaluate and optimize municipal water and wastewater systems.
When working with municipalities, we act as a vital buffer between city administrators and engineering firms. Engineers frequently use complex jargon that city staff often don't understand, which often leads to expensive issues slipping through the cracks. We'll translate that jargon so local officials easily understand what is happening, allowing them to make informed, budget-friendly decisions.
From running full-service contracts to providing wastewater certification and operator training, we're here to help cities save money and stay off the MPCA's radar.
In addition to municipalities, we frequently consult with and manage facilities for Significant Industrial Users (SIUs). For decades, Environmental Water Services has provided wastewater maintenance support with various SIUs, as we have extensive experience working with a wide range of complex industrial clients, including beef kill facilities, medical waste plants, metal finishers, dairies, and bio-refineries.
Industrial waste requires highly specialized oversight and seamless project management. When you choose to work with us, we work to reestablish the proper operational processes, file the necessary compliance paperwork with the MPCA and EPA, and help industrial companies maintain strict regulatory compliance moving forward.
Overseeing your municipal or industrial utility operations can be quite a handful. Our goal is to educate our clients as much as help them, which is why we're always available to answer your questions whenever you need a little guidance.
We happily work with towns of all sizes, though our ideal municipal population is in the 1,200 to 5,500 range. We currently manage operations for towns as small as 400 people.
We work with a variety of Significant Industrial Users (SIUs), including bio-refineries, dairies, beef kill facilities, metal finishers, and medical waste plants.
Environmental Water Services is proudly based out of Wykoff, Minnesota. We are dedicated to providing our certified expertise to communities across the southern half of the State of Minnesota, from Moorhead to Hibbing, down to Worthington, as well as across Northern Iowa. Whether your facility is in Lewiston, West Concord, Fountain, Racine, or Oronoco, we are ready to serve the region we call home!
We act as a buffer for cities, translating the complex technical jargon used by engineers so that city administrators clearly understand their infrastructure needs and avoid expensive, unnecessary upgrades.
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.

This was the exact scenario the City of West Concord, Minnesota faced when a major mechanical failure occurred with their screw pump and drive unit.
Full MPCA compliance restored
For local governments, staying in the good graces of state and federal regulatory agencies is paramount to protecting the environment and the community.
