How Our Services Support the Water & Wastewater Industry
Water and wastewater utilities face increasing demands: stricter environmental regulations, aging infrastructure, cybersecurity risks, and the challenge of doing more with fewer resources. Reliable, efficient, and safe operations are critical—not just for compliance, but for public trust.
At ESCO, we partner with water and wastewater utilities to deliver automation, control, and integration solutions that improve reliability, enhance compliance, and optimize costs. Whether it’s upgrading an outdated SCADA system, fabricating durable control panels, or ensuring cybersecurity, our team provides solutions that keep essential services flowing.
Regulatory Compliance
EPA and state environmental standards require precise monitoring and reporting. Our systems provide accurate, auditable data to ensure compliance.
Aging Infrastructure
Much of today’s water and wastewater infrastructure is decades old. We modernize control systems and integrate new technologies with legacy equipment.
Operational Efficiency
Utilities must reduce energy consumption, chemical usage, and labor costs. We design smart automation systems that improve efficiency without sacrificing safety.
Reliability & Uptime
System downtime can cause service interruptions and compliance violations. Our preventive maintenance, monitoring, and emergency response minimize disruptions.
Cybersecurity
As water systems connect more with IT networks, protecting against cyber threats becomes critical. We provide secure IT/OT integration to safeguard operations.
Sustainability
From energy recovery to water reuse, utilities are under pressure to operate more sustainably. Our advanced control and monitoring solutions support long-term sustainability goals.
Industry Challenges We Help Solve
1. Consulting
We help utilities assess risks, develop modernization roadmaps, and plan for regulatory compliance. From SCADA system upgrades to plant expansions, our consulting services align with both current needs and future demands.
2. Enterprise Solutions
Our enterprise-wide solutions provide visibility across facilities, enabling utilities to track performance, compliance, and maintenance activities. Decision-makers gain real-time data to support planning, resource allocation, and reporting.
3. IT/OT
We securely bridge operational technology with enterprise IT systems. This integration improves data visibility for operators while protecting critical infrastructure from cyberattacks—a growing concern in the water sector.
4. Advanced Manufacturing Solutions
Automation in water and wastewater operations means more than efficiency—it ensures consistent water quality. Our advanced process controls manage flow, dosing, and treatment operations with precision, reducing errors and ensuring compliance.
5. Panel Fabrication & Assembly
We design and build UL-certified control panels built to withstand harsh water and wastewater environments. Panels are corrosion-resistant, weatherproof, and tailored for pumps, valves, blowers, and treatment equipment.
6. Plant Services
Our technicians provide preventive maintenance, inspections, and on-call support. Whether it’s keeping pumps online or troubleshooting SCADA issues, we ensure your operations remain reliable and compliant.
7. System Integration
From intake and pumping stations to treatment and discharge, water and wastewater systems must operate seamlessly. We integrate SCADA, PLCs, and field instrumentation into a cohesive system that enhances efficiency and visibility across the utility.
