Durango septic & civil engineering

La Plata County acreage, water rights realities, and long-haul off-grid builds.

Southwest Colorado parcels are big, dry, and far from utilities. Water supply, storage, and wastewater are the design problem — and the answer usually involves a cistern, a well permit strategy, and an OWTS sized for intermittent occupancy.

We design onsite wastewater, water storage, grading, and access for La Plata, Montezuma, and Archuleta county properties, including full off-grid infrastructure packages.

What we design in Durango

  • OWTS design for large rural parcels and intermittent use
  • Cistern, hauled-water, and storage system design
  • Solar and off-grid utility infrastructure layout
  • Access road, culvert, and drainage design
  • Site feasibility for remote acreage
