Drinking Water

There’s nothing more fundamental to a community than drinking water. As demands are changing based on aging systems and growing populations, it’s more important than ever to plan for the future and design sustainable infrastructure for the years ahead.

Drinking water represents one of the most robust teams at V&K, with more than 50 employees dedicated to outlining systems for communities across the Midwest. Overall, there are two major obstacles for cities—aging systems and growing populations. Both of these challenges are a significant investment and time-consuming, regardless of the size of your community.

Our engineers break down drinking water systems into key components, including source quantity, source quality, storage capacity, and distribution. By distilling the systems into these components, we can address your community’s specific needs and start working on a specific solution. If your pipes need replacement, but you have a strong water source, we can focus on one issue to reduce the cost and time involved.

We know drinking water is a complicated issue at every level. Between regulations, existing systems, and new stressors, it can be daunting to approach the subject. We’ll help you create a new plan, one that is cost-effective and can provide clean, safe, and sustainable water for generations to come.
