Funding and experienced staff are hard to come by these days, yet demand surges for expensive infrastructure improvements and a safe, clean, sustainable water supply. Harris & Associates understands your challenges—and how to make the most of your precious resources.
Harris' proud tradition of serving water and wastewater agencies started with our first project over almost 50 years ago. Our commitment and capabilities have grown steadily since then. We became the EPA Construction Grants Program's first independent construction manager in California. Today, amid growing populations and aging infrastructure, we bring a holistic view and multidisciplinary expertise to help agencies with planning, funding, permitting, design, and construction management for their vital projects.
One Water. One Firm.
Harris subscribes to the U.S. Water Alliance’s One Water approach to sustainable management—understanding that water enhances community wellness on many fronts. In one firm Harris provides the rare advantage of end-to-end expertise to help agencies and districts with:
- Rehabilitation for water distribution, sanitary sewers, and stormwater conveyance methods
- Upgrades, expansions, and new construction for treatment plants, pipelines, and stations using traditional and alternative delivery methods
- Consulting around financing, rate-making, stakeholder engagement, and strategic and master plans
- Strategic analysis, program management, and risk and resilience leadership
- Regulatory guidance and assistance navigating various federal and state environmental and permitting programs
- Planning and succession strategies to preserve operational knowledge as senior-level personnel retire
Go Trenchless
To keep your undergrounding projects ahead of the curve, our teams employ the latest trenchless construction methods. Trenchless technology enables the rehabilitation of underground water and sewer lines without digging up streets—saving precious environmental and economic resources. Since 2013, Harris & Associates has been named one of the Top 50 Trenchless Engineering Firms in North America by Trenchless Technology Magazine. Harris is also at the forefront of sustainable stormwater and wastewater initiatives for removing contaminants and transforming reuse into valuable assets.
