Capital projects and emergency response for the private water and sewer utilities serving coastal Georgia and the Lowcountry.
We work with investor-owned water and sewer utility operators on capital improvement programs, system acquisitions, replacement and rehabilitation projects, and emergency repair response — in the exact service territories your operations teams already manage.
We work the way utility operators actually run.
Investor-owned water and sewer utilities don't run on the same rhythm as developers or GCs. You have a capital improvement program approved on a calendar. You have system acquisitions that close with deferred maintenance baked in. You have a rate case in front of the PSC that needs documented project costs. You have a consent order or compliance schedule that doesn't move when contractors don't show up. And when something breaks, you have customers — your customers, not someone else's tenants — calling the operations line at 3 AM.
We've built our process around how operators actually work. Annual budget cycles. Cost documentation that survives rate-case scrutiny. Acquisition due diligence walk-throughs before close. CCTV inspection programs sized to your I&I reduction targets. And emergency response lined up before the storm season starts, not negotiated at the height of it.
Capital, replacement, acquisition, and emergency — under one operator-friendly contract.
Capital improvement program execution
Main extensions, lift station construction, treatment plant site work, storage tank foundations. Built to your standards, documented for your rate case.
Replacement and rehabilitation programs
Pipe replacement, manhole rehabilitation and lining for I&I reduction, lift station rehab, valve and hydrant programs.
System acquisition support
Pre-acquisition walk-throughs and condition assessments. Post-close upgrade scoping and execution to address the deferred maintenance you inherited.
CCTV inspection programs
NASSCO-certified pipeline assessment. Recurring inspection cycles sized to your service-territory miles and I&I priorities. Reports formatted for your asset management system.
Backflow testing and certification
Across your full service territory, by certified testers, with results filed in the formats your operations team needs.
Emergency response
24/7 mobilization for main breaks, sewer overflows, and lift station failures. We can be set up under a master service agreement before storm season.
How we work with utility operators
Master service agreement (where applicable)
Many operators prefer a standing MSA covering rates, terms, insurance, and bonding so that capital projects and emergency calls don't each require a new contract. We're set up to work this way.
Annual planning alignment
We attend your CIP planning sessions on request, give realistic pricing on planned projects, and flag scope risks that affect rate-case justification before they hit a budget.
Project execution to operator standards
We build to your construction standards — not a generic municipal spec — and coordinate with your operations team on tie-ins and shutdowns to minimize customer impact.
Cost documentation that survives PSC review
Project costs, change orders, and as-builts are documented for the level of scrutiny your rate case and regulatory filings require.
Emergency response on a pre-negotiated basis
For MSA clients, emergency response rates, mobilization windows, and authorization protocols are agreed before the emergency — not during.
Why private utility operators choose us
Regulatory fluency
We work day-to-day in the GA EPD, SC DHEC, GA PSC, and SC PSC environments your filings live in. We know what each agency expects on permits, certifications, and project documentation.
Built for ongoing relationships
Many operators use us as a primary site contractor across their full service territory. We don't have to relearn your standards every project.
Acquisition-ready
When you acquire a small community system, we can walk the infrastructure with your operations team within days — not weeks — and have a deferred maintenance scope priced before your first board update.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work under a master service agreement?
Yes. Many of our utility-operator relationships run under standing MSAs covering rates, terms, insurance, bonding, and emergency response. Project work and emergency calls then proceed under work orders, not new contracts each time.
Can you support a system acquisition due diligence?
Yes. We provide pre-acquisition condition assessments — CCTV inspection of accessible sewer mains, lift station walk-throughs, water system pressure and integrity checks, and a written report on observed condition and immediate-need scope. Useful both for your operations team and for the deal terms.
Do you understand rate-case cost documentation requirements?
Yes. Project costs are captured at the level of detail your rate-case and regulatory filings require, with change-order documentation that supports recovery. We can format closeout packages to match your asset management system.
Do you have experience with consent orders or compliance schedules?
Yes. We've executed project work on compliance schedules tied to GA EPD and SC DHEC orders, including I&I reduction programs and lift station rehabilitation. References available on request.
How quickly can you mobilize for an emergency?
For MSA clients in coastal Georgia and the Lowcountry, typical mobilization is 1–2 hours from the operations team's call. Pre-arranged equipment staging and authorization protocols make the response window predictable.
Set up the contractor relationship before you need it.
Whether you're planning a CIP cycle, evaluating a system acquisition, or just want a pre-qualified contractor on the bench before the next consent order or storm, we'll set up the MSA paperwork on your timeline. Tell us about your service territory and your typical project profile, and we'll send a capability statement and current insurance and bond documentation.
