Sanitary, Water & Sewer Utility Contractor in Northeast Georgia

Sanitary sewer installation in Athens, Watkinsville, and Bogart, GA

Gravity does most of the work in a sanitary sewer system, which is why slope and depth matter on every run. Our crews handle sanitary sewer installation for mains and building laterals, set manholes to grade, and tie new development into existing municipal systems. We work in the thick red clay of Oconee, Clarke, and Barrow counties every week, and we plan around it. Stable trench box shoring, proper bedding, and correct backfill compaction keep pipes where we put them long after the crew leaves.

Sewer mains, laterals, and septic-to-sewer connections

We install PVC and ductile iron sewer pipe, pour and set manholes, and connect services without leaving low spots that collect grease and solids. For older properties on septic, we handle septic-to-sewer conversions when a municipality extends collection lines down a corridor. Every line gets cleaned, mandreled or camera-inspected, and jetted as required before acceptance, so the municipality sees a system that flows the day it goes online.

Lift stations and force mains

Some sites sit lower than the sewer they need to reach. We install lift stations, force mains, and valve assemblies that move wastewater uphill to the gravity main, with controls sized for the development they serve.

Water line installation and site distribution

Water systems fail when someone skips the details, so we do not skip them. Our team installs ductile iron and PVC water mains, service lines, fire lines, hydrants, and valve assemblies for developments of every size. After the pipe is laid, we hydrostatically pressure test every section, disinfect and flush new lines to state standards, and document results before the system serves a single building. That process protects the water quality of the neighborhoods and businesses that depend on it.

We also coordinate water and sewer utilities with the rest of the site plan. Storm drain crossings, power and gas offsets, and future pavement grades all affect where utility lines can run. Getting those conflicts resolved before we dig keeps change orders off your invoice.

Municipal and commercial utility projects

Municipal work rewards contractors who document what they do and keep to the schedule. Our project history across Northeast Georgia includes school sites such as Carver Middle School, Gaines School Elementary, Malcom Bridge Elementary, and North High Shoals Elementary, plus commercial developments like Wellbrook Medical and Southern Mills. On each of those sites, utility installation had to line up with grading, erosion control, and paving schedules. That coordination is a routine part of how we run a job, and you can browse our recent projects to see the range. References are available on request.

How our utility installation process works

1. Plan review and field verification. We walk the site, review the plans, and locate existing utilities before any equipment loads in.
2. Erosion control first. Silt fence, sediment basins, and stabilized entrances go in before trenching starts, per Georgia SB 610 and local requirements.
3. Trenching and shoring. We excavate to grade with trench boxes or sloping where depth requires it, keeping entrances safe and OSHA compliant.
4. Pipe installation and bedding. Pipe goes in on proper bedding at the specified slope, with joints assembled to manufacturer and municipal specs.
5. Testing and disinfection. Mains get pressure tested, sewer lines get mandrel or camera testing, and new water lines get chlorinated and flushed.
6. Backfill, compaction, and closeout. We backfill in lifts, compact to grade, and provide as-builts so the owner has a record of what went in the ground.
