Water
Varela’s expertise in community water projects goes beyond simply engineering wells, reservoirs, pumping stations and waterlines.
Water projects are not inexpensive and community financial resources are often limited. The inability to access enough water and deliver it efficiently can hinder the economic growth of a community and further limit the financial resources the community needs to thrive.
Varela provides funding strategies and assists in the acquisition of grants and loans from numerous programs and agencies to help communities bring their water needs to reality.
Once the funding is in place, Varela’s engineering team provides expert evaluation, planning, design, construction management, and inspection services, ensuring that the entire project meets the needs of the community and regulators.
