WASTEWATER ENGINEERING
Comply with regulations. Accommodate growth. Protect our most valuable resource.
AN INTRODUCTION TO MSA’S WASTEWATER ENGINEERING SERVICES
Wastewater treatment infrastructure is a critical component of a thriving community. Similar to the importance of providing consumers with safe water for drinking, reclaiming wastewater so it can be discharged back into the environment with minimal or no harmful effects is paramount. MSA can help you protect our most valuable resource–water–and do it in the face of aging infrastructure, tighter budgets, new regulations and population growth. MSA’s team of wastewater treatment engineers and certified wastewater operators collaborate closely to provide water reclamation solutions that work. From basic treatment technologies to the most innovative approaches for water reuse, our team can help navigate the complexities of all phases of a water reclamation project.

VISUALIZATION SOLUTIONS
With advanced visualization software and technologies, we develop interactive simulations and high-quality renderings that help our clients visualize their wastewater project. We are committed to delivering successful wastewater projects that bring client visions to life. These renderings, videos and 3D models help generate excitement, assist in educating the public on new infrastructure and display design alternatives in an approachable and creative way. MSA’s wastewater experts use the visualization solutions to assist in the following applications:
• Detailed site planning
• Wastewater treatment facility design and construction modeling
• Walk-throughs
• Conceptual modeling/renderings
FUNDING
We understand that project success takes more than technical expertise. Financing a project can require more time and effort than the project itself. To assist, MSA has a team of dedicated funding experts to help our clients with obtaining the necessary funding they need to bring their project to fruition.
Funding Sources
• State-Funded Programs
• State Revolving Fund (SRF)
• Tax Incremental Financing (TIF)
• USDA-Rural Development (USDA-RD)
