Municipal water system work has been one of the foundations of Hurt & Proffitt (H&P) since the firm was established in 1973. H&P has civil engineering services term contracts pertaining to municipal water system projects that have been renewed annually for decades – Amherst County Service Authority (37 years), Appomattox County (20 years), and Town of Appomattox (13 years), to name just a few.
The cost to municipalities for this very critical work is often more than they can afford. There are many funding agencies that provide grants and no- or low-interest loans to help. H&P specializes in the grant/loan applications and required preliminary work to maximize the funding of water system projects by agencies such as the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), USDA Rural Development (RD), Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), and others. The Towns of Charlotte Courthouse, Goshen, and Boones Mill (all in Virginia) each obtained millions of dollars in funding assistance for desperately needed water system projects through funding applications and preliminary work prepared by H&P in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
H&P is experienced in all phases of water system work and ready to assist municipalities in the planning, funding, design, and construction of new, expanded, modified, and rehabilitated water systems.
