Environmental Systems

Bringing Clean Water To Our Local Communities

Our passion for helping municipalities attract new industries and businesses by improving infrastructure led to the creation of the Harper Environmental Systems Division (ESD) in 2010. Harper understands how important clean water is to a community. From the water that comes out of the tap to the water flowing in local streams, businesses and residents alike rely on municipalities to provide a safe environment to work and play.

Harper ESD specializes in water and wastewater treatment systems, including pump stations and conveyance, chemical systems, filter rehabilitation, sludge remediation, water and sewer lines, and equipment installation. Local leaders throughout the Carolinas and Georgia trust Harper ESD with their water and wastewater needs.
