Lifewater Engineering Co.

Company Overview

Our aim is to fully understand and select the most effective equipment for your requirements. Using arctic engineering, we design your system, develop it, and provide all the assistance needed to make your project a achievement.

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

Because we do the design and manufacturing ourselves, your project moves ahead efficiently.

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

With Lifewater, you get the benefit of cutting-edge treatment technologies packaged for your project's needs and delivered on your schedule.

Already chosen your treatment equipment? We can adapt it to function in any climate, cold or hot, anywhere on earth.

Back in 1998, Lifewater was asked by a couple in Fairbanks to develop 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.

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.

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.
