Management and Planning from a Utility Operations Perspective. Many of our utility assets - both people and infrastructure - are reaching retirement age. Within the next 10 years, 30-50% of water industry employees may retire, according to AWWA/Water Research Foundation’s 2010 “Water Sector Workforce Sustainability Initiative.” When these employees leave the workforce, decades of knowledge and experience will walk out the door with them.

When you`re thirsty, you simply grab a glass and open the tap. It doesn`t require too much thought on your part. But at McKim & Creed, we`re always thinking about your water. Our engineers are constantly striving to develop new and better ways to keep it clean, manage it, sustain it. Yes, we put a lot of thought into your water - this way, you don`t have to.

Effective stormwater management does much more than solve flooding issues. It enhances water quality, employs BMPs compatible with the site’s resources, reduces runoff and recharges groundwater supplies. It manages entire watersheds, not just problem areas.  McKim & Creed offers a fundamentals-based approach to stormwater management that is credible, defensible, sustainable and supported. We link a comprehensive understanding of local climatology and watershed behavior with knowledge of community needs, existing andanticipated regulatory and legal requirements, and fiscal constraints. The end result is a total stormwater solution that creates a safer, healthier environment for you and your community.
