Water
Protecting people and protecting water are the two guiding principles of Farnsworth Group's water resource engineers.
Stormwater Management

Wastewater
Wastewater collection and treatment is essential to protect the quality of lakes, streams, and aquifers. Public, industrial and agricultural treatment facilities must be designed and operated to satisfy environmental regulations. Our engineers incorporate the ideas and experience of your operators and maintenance staff to develop workable solutions. Once a facility is completed, our staff provides the necessary continuing operational support so that the facility continues to operate at an optimal level.

Drinking Water
At Farnsworth Group, we offer a full range of services to ensure a safe and reliable water supply for municipalities of all sizes, from a few hundred residents to tens of thousands. Our expertise spans the entire lifecycle of water systems, including planning, design, permitting, and construction.
We specialize in designing and constructing water treatment plants that purify water to meet stringent health standards. Our services also include the design and construction of water tanks, providing secure storage and distribution of clean water. We excel in both the rehabilitation of existing tanks and the construction of new ones, ensuring compliance with regulations and maintaining high standards of quality.
Our capabilities extend beyond water treatment and storage. We design and build wells, booster stations, and SCADA/Controls systems, ensuring that every component of your water system operates efficiently and effectively.
Whether constructing a new water processing facility or rehabilitating an old one, we prioritize our clients' needs to determine the most appropriate solutions. Our common-sense approach helps clients make informed decisions, ensuring maximum benefit for the cost incurred. A brief list of the project services may include the following:
Services Include
- Water treatment plants (lime softening, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, aeration/detention/filtration)
- Process piping hydraulics analysis
- Chemical feed and storage
- SCADA/Controls programming and support
- Disinfection byproducts and corrosion control strategies
- Booster pump station
- Water storage tanks (elevated and ground level)
- Water transmission and distribution system improvements
- Nitrification Action Plans
- Modeling for water distribution systems
- Condition assessments/audits
- Groundwater well supply
