Statement of Qualifications | Water

DRINKING WATER DISTRIBUTION Safe water from source to tap. Drinking water systems are the unseen backbone of our communities. They deliver safe, reliable water for homes, businesses and critical fire protection during emergencies. Recognized by Homeland Security and the American Water Works Association as among the nation’s most vital infrastructure, these systems are essential to public health and safety. Yet as cities grow, the challenge shifts from simply sourcing water to ensuring safe distribution to every household—even in the face of aging pipelines and rising demand. WSP leads the design of transmission mains and distribution networks across the US, applying innovative strategies that safeguard water access and strengthen resilience for the future. WSP’s expertise in drinking water distribution encompasses the design, analysis and implementation of robust systems tailored to local needs. We work with municipalities
