NV5 Global, Inc. announced that it has been awarded a two-year, $5 million contract by the Hi-Desert Water District to transition approximately 4,000 San Bernino County residences from on-site septic systems to a centralized sewer wastewater treatment system. NV5 will serve as the owner's representative for Phases 2 and 3 of the Hi-Desert Water district's septic-to-sewer project. NV5 will also deliver expertise in design review, environmental compliance support, grant funding assistance, and construction management and inspection services.

The project is part of a 64-mile sewer collection system that the district is constructing to decrease the reliance on septic tanks in its service area.
