Our dedication to innovation, efficiency and high quality creates the perfect combination for optimally managing your facilities.
Our Philosophy
Severn Trent Services' approach to operating and maintaining small-to-midsized municipal wastewater and water systems recognizes the challenges faced by communities around the country in addressing future infrastructure needs. Therefore, in each project we undertake, Severn Trent strives to improve overall asset management. Our approach also involves effective preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance programs. In every project we undertake, we implement maintenance protocols and procedures that reflect manufacturers' warranties for existing and new equipment. Although it is often difficult to tie quality maintenance to cost-savings performance, it is our philosophy that maintenance is part of every employee's day-to-day responsibilities and that corrective, non-routine maintenance should be planned well in advance. This approach is consistent with our management philosophy at all of the facilities we operate. We believe that it provides employees with enhanced opportunities to understand and manage the entire treatment process. In addition, by placing routine maintenance under operator control, our approach allows for greater accountability and empowerment in plant operations and minimizes costly, unscheduled maintenance events.
Severn Trent Services also provides public works management as part of a wastewater or water operations and maintenance contract or as a stand alone service. Recognized for our experience and successful capital improvement programs, we provide a full complement of public works services including streets, parks and fleet management.
