Providing safe water for our communities.
We provide design, consulting, and planning expertise that supports the development and maintenance of essential public works, specifically for water. Our expertise lies in the entire spectrum of water and wastewater systems, from pump stations to treatment, storage to distribution. We are dedicated to creating resilient, sustainable infrastructure that serves communities and supports economic growth.
Our clean water / wastewater treatment experience spans the entire spectrum of solutions, including biosolids management, pump stations, and cutting-edge treatment facilities. We understand the strict state and federal requirements and mandates, and we've assisted numerous municipalities and utility districts to maximize their investments in system improvements and expansions.

Providing the public with safe and reliable drinking water is vital. Our civil and environmental team understands the importance of ensuring this essential infrastructure is reliable, resilient, and secure. We work in tandem with municipalities and utility districts to meet current challenges, while also planning for the future, including hydraulic modeling, distribution, treatment, and storage.

Using GIS, our team creates a “picture” of the data being utilized that helps clients visualize the efficiency of existing stormwater infrastructure while also adjusting for future scenarios. Hydraulic and hydrologic modeling provides the ability to prioritize stormwater infrastructure and drainage system maintenance, track water quality, predict potential food zones, reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) or sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and illustrate the risk to commercial and residential areas.
Since the early 1990's, we have been working with state and local departments to develop policies and guidelines for the beneficial reuse of wastewater effluent. Our services run the entire lifespan of a project, from planning and design through construction and operations. We help municipalities navigate the collection, discharge and reuse requirements, and reap the rewards of reclaimed water for irrigation of golf courses, parks, and other common areas.

Biosolids management involves treating and processing the organic materials from wastewater to reduce pathogens and odors. These treated biosolids can be used as fertilizers in agriculture or disposed of through methods like incineration or landfilling. Regulations ensure their safe use and disposal to protect human health and the environment.

In October of 2018, America’s Water Infrastructure Act (AWIA) was signed into law. The AWIA specified that water utilities submit Risk and Resilience Assessments (RRAs) and Emergency Response Plans (ERPs) in the years 2020 through 2021, based on the size of population served.
In October of 2023, Bowling Green (KY) Municipal Utilities (BGMU) hosted community members, city leaders, and industry partners as they celebrated the ribbon cutting to mark the completion of a 15MGD expansion to their water treatment plant. This was the culmination of a decade of work for SSR’s Civil/Water team who served as the Engineer of Record for the expansion. For us, and others involved in the design and construction of the expansion, this was not a time to step away and leave BGMU to enjoy their expanded plant – we still had work to do!
SSR’s structural team previously published a blog post on micropiles, where we explained what a micropile is, when they are ideal to use, and the benefits of a micropile foundation. This post will review recent, real-world applications of micropiles.
