Water distribution and quality

Water Distribution and Quality

Our solutions strengthen drinking water quality and distribution system performance through hydraulic and water quality modeling, lead and corrosion control, non-revenue water reduction and operational strategies that protect public health and improve reliability.

Wastewater collection

Wastewater Collection

Reliable wastewater collection is essential to public and environmental health. We deliver and optimize underground assets such as sewers and pump stations to safely convey wastewater, manage wet weather conditions and extend asset life.

How we support the full lifecycle of water distribution and wastewater collection. 

Get in touch

Jacobs plans and designs water distribution and wastewater collection systems including pipelines, tunnels, pump stations and storage facilities and provides engineering services for rehabilitation. Using hydraulic modeling, condition assessment and risk-based planning, we support utilities to improve reliability, manage capacity and extend asset life. 

Pipeline rehabilitation restores capacity, reduces leakage and minimizes failure risk in aging networks. Jacobs delivers trenchless and conventional rehabilitation solutions guided by condition assessment and asset risk analysis to extend service life with minimal disruption. 

Jacobs supports utilities to reduce overflows, manage wet weather and protect water quality by optimizing wastewater collection systems. Our services include system modeling, condition assessment, rehabilitation planning and operational strategies that improve long-term reliability and compliance.

Tunneling and ground engineering enable critical water and wastewater infrastructure to operate safely below ground. Jacobs integrates underground engineering with water expertise to deliver conveyance tunnels, coastal intakes and rehabilitated assets that reduce surface impacts and manage risk.
