Service
RSP Engineers designs utility infrastructure, including water and sewer systems, for reliable project outcomes.
RSP Engineers specializes in utility infrastructure design, creating the essential systems that deliver clean water and manage wastewater for communities and developments. We engineer robust, reliable, and efficient water distribution and sanitary sewer networks that are vital for public health and sustainable growth. Our expertise ensures your project is supported by infrastructure built for the future.
Our team provides end-to-end design services for the critical utility networks that serve residential, commercial, and municipal projects. We focus on creating systems that are not only compliant and efficient but also scalable to meet future demands.
Have questions?
We engineer comprehensive systems to deliver safe drinking water and effectively manage wastewater. Our core design services include:
RSP Engineers provides efficient and code-compliant septic tank design solutions for residential and commercial projects. We handle system sizing, layout, and permitting to ensure reliable wastewater treatment and full regulatory approval.
Utility Connection Permits
Coordinating with transportation departments (e.g., FDOT) for utility work within public rights-of-way.
Residential communities, Multifamily, Commercial property, Mixed-use development, Industrial, Data centers, Water distribution pipelines, Sewer pipelines and pump stations, City and municipal, County government.
For data center sites, the same scope is organized by question, with RSP Engineers' published guides on each:
Tell us about the project — the site or property, the type of development, its stage, and what you need utility infrastructure design for — and we will come back to you about scope and next steps.
What a water and wastewater engineering company does — what the phrase covers, the kinds of firms that use it, and how to tell which one a project needs.
Utility availability is one of the first things established during civil engineering due diligence, which is delivered within 5 days of notice to proceed. See RSP Advantage.

Case study
Seminole County, FL
RSP Engineers led civil engineering design for an 11-lot residential subdivision in Seminole County, FL. Our team managed stormwater, utilities, and permitting from preliminary subdivision through SJRWMD ERP approval.

Case study· Engineering for Stormwater Management
Frisco, Texas
An occupied senior living campus in Frisco had drainage that no longer performed as designed. RSP assessed existing conditions, researched the permit record, modelled the stormwater system and designed a collection and regrading scheme approved for construction by the City of Frisco.

Case study· Engineering Robust Industrial Solutions
Palmetto, Florida
A 1.47-acre industrial infill site in Palmetto was developed as a mobile batch concrete yard with a service shop. Stormwater is held in 1,418 feet of exfiltration trench under the yard rather than in a pond, and the project carries both Manatee County final site plan approval and a Florida DEP permit for its wastewater system.

Case study· Engineering for Sewer Infrastructure
Manatee County, Florida
An established resort community in Manatee County needed its water distribution and sanitary collection systems replaced beneath occupied lots. The approved design carries 2,765 feet of 8-inch gravity sewer, most of it at minimum grade on flat coastal ground, to a private lift station serving the county system.
Read case study →When a development needs water distribution and sanitary sewer designed, modeled for pressure and flow, and permitted for connection to the serving utility. Also when a service area needs a booster pump station or wastewater lift station designed or rehabilitated.
That is established early, by asking. The utility confirms whether it can take the project on, and the design proceeds from that answer. Securing a capacity or availability letter before the layout is fixed avoids redesigning around a constraint discovered late.
Yes - wastewater lift stations and water booster pump stations, both new and rehabilitated. A lift station is needed where gravity will not carry the flow to the connection point, and the decision between the two is a question of site elevations.
Yes. Properties on septic systems being connected to municipal sewer under a conversion program need the collection design, the connection permitting and the coordination with the serving utility, which is the same work as a new development's utility design.
A commercial kitchen or food-service establishment needs a code-compliant grease interceptor designed and permitted. The sizing follows the jurisdiction's code and the fixture count, and it is reviewed as part of the plumbing and utility connection approval.
The site, the development type and size, the fixture or demand information if you have it, and the name of the serving utility. If there is existing agency correspondence about capacity or connection, that too.
Tell us the site, schedule and jurisdiction and we will confirm which disciplines and licences apply before proposing scope.
