Lifewater Engineering Co.

Company Overview

Our aim is to fully understand and select the most effective equipment for your project. Using cold region engineering, we create your system, develop it, and provide all the technical support needed to make your project a reality.

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

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

Not working with an engineering firm yet? We can draft a plan review and discharge permit application for regulatory approval.

With Lifewater, you get the benefit of state-of-the-art 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 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.

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.
