Jacobs Reinforces Historic Water Operations and Maintenance Presence in Western US

Jacobs has secured multiple contract wins and renewals for operations and maintenance (O&M) services, reinforcing its roots in the Northwest U.S. and growth in the wider water and wastewater utility O&M industry in the Western U.S.

Jacobs was recently awarded new water and wastewater O&M contracts with Soquel Creek Water District, West Basin Water District and Lincoln-Sewer Management District 1 Wastewater Authority in California. Jacobs also renewed existing O&M contracts in Hood River, Oregon; Walla Walla, Washington; Twin Falls, Idaho; Prescott Valley, Arizona; Navajo Tribal Utility Authority and Rio Rancho in New Mexico; and Turlock Irrigation District in California, which together span more than 180 years of collaboration.

At Jacobs, we do not take for granted the importance of delivering an essential service like fresh drinking water, as well as protecting our sensitive environment through the collection and advanced treatment of wastewater. Jacobs is uniquely positioned to provide O&M services that are directly supported by world-leading water and wastewater engineering experience. This not only assures delivery of these crucial services but also extracts the maximum capacity from the utility’s existing asset base.

Greg Fischer, Jacobs Executive Vice President

Forty-five years ago, Jacobs’ O&M business originated in Oregon. Today, Jacobs is among the largest O&M solutions providers in the North American water market. Jacobs is responsible for a portfolio of more than 300 facilities, providing a range of services, including O&M of water and wastewater utilities, advanced water treatment facilities, public works, community development and facilities management.

“As utilities in the West are being challenged with climate change, tightening regulations and workforce shortages, we’re utilising our Digital OneWater suite of solutions like Intelligent O&M, Aqua DNA and Dragonfly to optimise operations, provide data-driven results for clients and enhance the lives of the communities we serve,” said Fischer.
