Lifewater Engineering Co.

Company Overview

Our aim is to listen carefully and identify the most appropriate equipment for your requirements. Using cold region engineering, we create your system, build it, and provide all the guidance needed to make your project a reality.

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

Because we handle the design and manufacturing ourselves, your project moves ahead quickly.

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

Lifewater provides innovative treatment technologies, customized to meet your project's needs and delivered according to your schedule.

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.

In 1998, a couple in Fairbanks asked Lifewater to create 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.

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.
