Lifewater Engineering Co.

Company Overview

Our goal is to listen carefully and choose the most suitable equipment for your requirements. Using cold region engineering, we design your system, develop it, and provide all the guidance needed to make your project a reality.

Since many northern sites and communities are not accessible by roads, we often design treatment systems for fixed wing and/or helicopter transport.

As we design everything ourselves, your project moves forward quickly.

If you are not already working with an engineering firm, we can prepare a plan review submittal and discharge permit application for agency approval.

Lifewater provides advanced treatment technologies, customized to meet your project's needs and delivered on time.

If you already have your treatment equipment selected, we can adapt it to work in a cold or hot climate at any location on earth.

In 1998, a couple in Fairbanks asked Lifewater to design a sewage treatment system for their home, built on permafrost.

The onsite residential sewage treatment system could not have any buried tanks or a leach field because they would add heat to the ground, causing the permafrost to thaw.

The system needed to function at -60°F, be easy to install and maintain, affordable, and state-approved.

This challenge ignited the imagination of Lifewater's founder, Bob Tsigonis.

Being a man of faith, Bob clarifies that after a time of prayer, an elegantly simple design emerged, culminating in a system that met all the homeowners' requirements and brought them value and peace of mind.
