Function, while important, is only part of what goes into our designs. We are committed
to developing financially and environmentally sound solutions for our clients. Solutions
that meet the requirements of the permitting and regulatory agencies involved. Our
comprehensive water resources engineering services include water supply and distribution,
water treatment, wastewater engineering, water recycling and reuse, and flood control
and drainage. Providing innovative, cost-effective solutions to water resource challenges
is just one way our engineers demonstrate creativity and technical ability to the
benefit of our clients.

Water Supply and Distribution
Public awareness of water quality issues has never been higher. Growing competition
for new and economically viable water sources, coupled with the steady degradation
of existing supplies, has intensified concern over sustainable water supplies. At
Nolte, we make it our business to respond to these concerns by providing services
that ensure public health through technically reliable solutions to water demands.

Water Treatment
Designing water treatment plants that meet today's stringent standards and anticipated
new regulations is a challenge for any engineering firm. Nolte's experienced professionals
have successfully met this challenge on numerous occasions-in dozens of communities.
We have designed surface water treatment plants and groundwater treatment plants
to remove iron, manganese, color, taste and odor, and other constituents. We provide
pilot testing for arsenic removal and are experienced in the design and operation
of both conventional and membrane plants. At Nolte, we pride ourselves in designing
operator-friendly treatment plants that can be constructed within budget.

Wastewater Engineering
Wastewater treatment has always been an important element of our business. Faced
with ever-increasing populations and stringent environmental regulations, we meet
the challenge of wastewater treatment with innovative and cost-effective solutions.
Nolte-designed plants have received awards for their outstanding design and performance.
We combine a strong history for successfully applying natural systems, such as constructed
wetlands and land application systems, with the ability to apply alternative treatment
methods.

Water Recycling and Reuse
As people and communities change, one thing remains constant: the need to provide
for a safe, reliable water supply. One method involves the reclamation and recycling
of wastewater for irrigation and other non-potable uses. As a leader in the field
of water recycling, our success is measured by the number of our recycled water
projects completed and in operation, and by the public support for using the recycled
water. Our job is complete when recycled water is flowing to customers.

Flood Control and Drainage
Flood control and drainage projects are among our toughest jobs. The challenge of
producing a design that simultaneously assures public safety, avoids property damage,
preserves the natural environment, and can be implemented economically requires
a delicate balance. We are leaders in the design of environmentally sensitive flood
control and drainage facilities. We consistently provide three things our clients
find valuable: we save them time and money, we work and communicate closely to integrate
processes, and we continuously find ways to work more efficiently with clients and
contractors.
