NV5 Global awarded $5M contract to improve wastewater collection in California

NV5 Global announced that it has been awarded a two-year, $5M contract by the Hi-Desert Water District to transition approximately 4,000 San Bernardino County residences from on-site septic systems to a centralized sewer wastewater treatment system. NV5 will serve as the owner’s representative for Phases 2 and 3 of the Hi-Desert Water District’s septic-to-sewer project. NV5 will also deliver expertise in design review, environmental compliance support, grant funding assistance, and construction management and inspection services. The project is part of a 64-mile sewer collection system that the district is constructing to decrease the reliance on septic tanks in its service area. “Water treatment systems improve quality of life and positively impact the environment by reducing surface water pollution and recharging groundwater supplies. NV5 is pleased to contribute to this project which will improve water infrastructure for Hi-Desert Water District customers while enhancing the community’s environmental sustainability,” said Dickerson Wright, PE, Chairman and CEO of NV5.
