Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Whether your project is residential, commercial, institutional, or part of a larger development, ETS can provide the necessary engineering services for a new or replacement septic system. Our team can assist with site evaluation, system design, permitting, regulatory coordination, and the approvals needed to move the project forward.

Yes. ETS can evaluate existing site conditions and prepare a replacement septic system design based on the property layout, soil conditions, anticipated wastewater flow, and applicable regulatory requirements. We can also coordinate with the reviewing health department and other professionals involved with the project.

A failing septic system should be evaluated to determine the cause of the problem and whether repair, modification, or full replacement is necessary. ETS can help assess the site, develop an appropriate design, and assist with the required permitting and approvals.

Yes. ETS provides engineering and permitting assistance for new potable water wells, including wells serving commercial properties, residential developments, institutions, and regulated public water systems.

Community Water Systems are subject to additional regulatory, design, permitting, testing, and operational requirements. ETS can assist with well siting, system design, treatment evaluation, permitting, water demand calculations, storage and pumping requirements, and coordination with the applicable regulatory agencies.

The classification generally depends on the number of service connections, population served, and how frequently the system provides drinking water. ETS can review the proposed or existing system and help determine the applicable classification and regulatory requirements.

Most regulated public water systems require oversight by a properly licensed operator with the appropriate New Jersey water treatment and/or distribution license classification. The required license depends on the size, treatment processes, distribution system, and classification of the facility.

ETS can help determine the operator requirements applicable to a new or existing system and provide ongoing licensed operational support where needed.

ETS maintains a diverse team of licensed and credentialed professionals, including NJDEP T, W, N, and C licensed operators, Professional Engineers (PE), Certified Municipal Engineers (CME), Professional Planners (PP), and Environmental Planners. This range of expertise allows ETS to support projects from initial planning and engineering through permitting, regulatory compliance, construction coordination, and long-term system operation.

Ideally, operational input should begin during the design and permitting process rather than after construction is complete. Having an operator involved early can help identify maintenance, treatment, access, monitoring, sampling, and day-to-day operational considerations before the system is built.

ETS provides both engineering and operational services. Our team can assist with planning, design, permitting, construction coordination, regulatory compliance, sampling, and continued licensed operation of water and wastewater facilities.

Yes. Every property and utility project is different. ETS can review the proposed project, identify the likely permitting and regulatory requirements, and help coordinate the necessary submissions with local, county, and state agencies.
