Featured Project

When a local public water supply system's primary potable water source became contaminated following an uncontrolled release of fuel oil, Whittemore and Haigh Engineering, Inc. was contracted to properly permit a new potable water source for the public water supply system. The required permit application process consisted of an engineering review of the current potable water withdrawal, treatment, and distribution systems; engineering of potable water treatment changes; hydrogeologic investigation; Surface Water Identification Protocol Monitoring; and regulatory permitting on both the county and state levels.
