A safe, clean, sustainable water supply is a basic human right—and a major stressor for growing communities. From pump stations to pipelines, Harris & Associates helps agencies fund and improve access to their most precious resource.
The Harris team believes fervently in building a secure water future for all. We subscribe to the U.S. Water Alliance’s One Water vision for combatting our nation’s biggest water challenges. For our clients and their communities, this commitment manifests itself in sustainable, cost-effective treatment, and conveyance solutions.
