Jacobs wins new contracts to expand water infrastructure in Virginia
(UI) - Jacobs has secured two new contracts with the City of Suffolk to support ongoing water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades aimed at meeting regulatory requirements and accommodating long-term growth.
One contract continues Jacobs’ role supporting Suffolk’s sanitary sewer overflow reduction program, while a second agreement covers planning, design and construction management services tied to expanding surface water treatment capacity. The scope also includes water distribution system modeling, pump station evaluations and rehabilitation of existing groundwater wells as groundwater withdrawal limits tighten.
City officials say the work is intended to improve system reliability, support compliance with environmental regulations and ensure sufficient capacity as the region continues to grow. Jacobs has worked with Suffolk for more than two decades on utility-related projects, including treatment plant upgrades, hydraulic modeling and data-driven capacity planning.
The Virginia projects are part of broader efforts by municipalities across the region to modernize aging water and wastewater systems while reducing overflow risks and improving operational resilience.
