Lee, Massachusetts · 20+ years

Engineering and water operations for Western Massachusetts.

We design, operate, sample and report for the water systems, towns and homeowners of the Berkshires and the Pioneer Valley, so you stay compliant and your water stays safe.

Why us

Water compliance, handled from start to finish.

Small water systems answer to the same DEP rules as big cities, without the staff. We take the whole job off your plate: the sampling, the paperwork, the regulators and the fixes.

  • We file your reports and deal with MassDEP. CCRs, ASRs, monitoring waivers and lead service line inventories, done and on time.

  • Licensed operators who know your system. The same people on your site, visit after visit.

  • Engineers on the same team. When a system needs a repair, treatment upgrade or permit, there's no handoff to another firm.

  • Local, in Lee. We work in the towns where we live.

Who we serve

Built for the systems that don't have a water department.

Condo associations, schools, camps and inns run public water systems without a full-time staff. We are that staff.

Your compliance year

Every season has a deadline. We track all of them.

Sampling schedules, reports and renewals stack up across the year. We keep the calendar so you don't have to.
