AQUALIS
Stormwater Management for Schools & Universities
Educational institutions play a vital role in responsible stormwater management. By adopting innovative and sustainable practices, both public and private schools not only comply with federal, state and local regulations—they also lead by example in environmental stewardship.
For over 20 years, AQUALIS has been the leading stormwater management company for a variety of educational institutions. We support schools and universities—public and private—in sustaining water management practices that benefit students, staff and the surrounding communities.
We partner with educational institutions to enhance student safety, prevent costly violations and maintain more efficient systems. Our comprehensive services include preventive maintenance, engineered system design and rapid regulatory response.
Non-Compliance Resolution & Prevention for Schools
Educational campuses that fail to meet federal, state or local stormwater regulations may receive a Notice of Violation (NOV). If your campus has received an NOV, swift and informed action is critical.
At AQUALIS, we specialize in resolving stormwater-related NOVs for schools and universities. Our team works quickly to bring your institution back into compliance and reduce or eliminate associated fines.
Our experts assess your site, develop and implement corrective action plans and manage the resolution process to ensure long-term compliance and prevent future violations.
Stormwater Services We Offer for Educational Institutions
Educational institutions require custom stormwater solutions to meet the unique needs of their campus layout and services. AQUALIS offers specialized stormwater management solutions to support safety, performance and compliance for all types of schools and universities.
Routine inspections are key to maintaining stormwater systems. AQUALIS performs detailed evaluations of inlets, drains, pipes, basins, retention ponds and other assets to ensure proper function and regulatory compliance. We identify early warning signs of system failure and implement corrective measures to prevent non-compliance issues.
Damaged or failing stormwater systems put campuses at risk of safety concerns and violations. AQUALIS provides comprehensive repairs to drainage systems, culverts and inlets—restoring flow while minimizing disruption to school operations.
Preventive maintenance is essential for reducing flood risk and extending system life. Our stormwater maintenance services include debris removal, vegetation control and structural cleaning for ponds and other stormwater assets.
Campus infrastructure is particularly vulnerable to sinkhole formation due to groundwater erosion or improper drainage. AQUALIS specializes in sinkhole repairs that restore safety for staff and students and structural stability for your property. We stabilize affected areas near parking lots, fields and walkways to prevent future settlement.
Stormwater systems can quickly accumulate debris and sediment, leading to backups, flooding and compliance risks. AQUALIS provides restorative vactor services using high-powered vacuum trucks to clear storm drains, catch basins and underground structures. We ensure your systems maintain flow to reduce flood risk and prevent pollutant discharge.
Our engineers specialize in designing multi-use outdoor spaces that serve educational and functional purposes. From planning through permitting, AQUALIS helps campuses meet stormwater regulations and create resilient, educational landscapes.

Educational Industry Case Studies
Environmental Services for Schools & Universities
Environmental stewardship is a top priority for educational institutions. It not only ensures regulatory compliance but also protects students, the surrounding community and local waterways.
Many campuses are required to maintain stormwater permits to reduce pollutants and support sustainable water management. Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Agreements are also commonly used to guide routine inspections and maintenance schedules.
AQUALIS helps schools and universities meet these obligations through tailored environmental services. We develop and implement pollution prevention plans and O&M Agreements tailored to promote long-term compliance with permits as well as encourage sustainability for educational facilities.
We also incorporate green infrastructure into our stormwater management solutions. Features such as native landscaping, rain gardens and permeable pavement improve water quality while enhancing the campus environment.
Wastewater Services for Educational Facilities
Educational facilities often depend on complex wastewater systems that support cafeterias, dormitories, laboratories and athletic centers. When these systems fail, they can disrupt campus operations and pose significant health and environmental risks.
AQUALIS delivers customized wastewater management services for educational sites, including engineering, inspection and maintenance programs. We manage complete lift station solutions to ensure wastewater is safely transported, treated and discharged. Our vactor services also help keep systems clean and functional, reducing the risk of system failures and costly repairs.
With AQUALIS, educational institutions have a single, trusted partner for all their stormwater and wastewater management needs.

Parking Lot Flooding & Drainage Management for Schools
Parking lots on school and university campuses often handle heavy traffic and large volumes of stormwater runoff. Poor drainage can lead to flooding, pavement damage and safety hazards for pedestrians and vehicles.
AQUALIS specializes in parking lot flooding and drainage management solutions that maintain accessibility and compliance. Our technicians inspect catch basins, storm drains and subsurface systems to identify issues that contribute to standing water or erosion.
Common causes of parking lot flooding include:
- Blocked or undersized drains
- Collapsed underground pipes
- Poor grading or deteriorated asphalt
- Sediment buildup within inlets
We use data-driven assessments to recommend repairs, such as structure replacements or regrading, that enhance long-term performance.
