Lifewater Engineering Co.

Company Overview

Our aim is to pay attention and select the most suitable equipment for your needs. Using arctic engineering, we plan your system, develop it, and provide all the technical support needed to make your project a achievement.

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

As we build everything ourselves, your project advances efficiently.

If you are not already working with an engineering firm, we can create a plan review submittal and discharge permit application for government 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 customize it to work in a cold or hot climate at any location on earth.

Back in 1998, Lifewater was asked by a couple in Fairbanks to design a sewage treatment system for their permafrost-based home.

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.

It had to work above ground at -60°F, be simple to install, easy to operate and maintain, be reasonably priced, and be approved by the state of Alaska.

This challenge sparked the creativity of Lifewater's founder, Bob Tsigonis.

A man of faith, Bob says that after prayer, a simple yet effective design emerged, creating a system that met the homeowners' needs and provided them with peace of mind.
