(domestic, reclaimed, and fire) for the existing and future water demand.

Once the study was complete, I designed a booster pressure pump system to

alleviate the low pressure within the system (3 parallel variable speed

pumps). I also designed the sewer system, parking lot and access road for

this facility.

Project Engineer
