From regional hospitals to senior living centers and small clinics, every healthcare facility faces unique challenges when it comes to stormwater runoff. Effective stormwater management is essential to ensure compliance, protect infrastructure and keep patients and staff safe.

For over 20 years, AQUALIS has been the trusted leader in stormwater management for healthcare facilities nationwide. Our specialists develop tailored strategies to maintain compliance and promote long-term sustainability. We provide preventive maintenance, corrective action repairs and comprehensive inspections  to keep your stormwater systems operating efficiently and in accordance with federal and state regulations.

With AQUALIS as your partner, you can safeguard your property and focus on delivering exceptional patient care.

Non-Compliance Resolution & Prevention for the Healthcare Industry

Non-compliance with federal, state and municipal stormwater regulations can result in the issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV). If your hospital has received an NOV, fast and proper action is essential to avoid associated fines, reputational damage and disruption to daily operations. 

AQUALIS specializes in resolving NOVs related to stormwater management at healthcare sites. We facilitate communication with local governing bodies to address regulatory concerns and promptly return the property to compliance.

We also develop corrective action plans, perform on-site repairs and integrate long-term compliance solutions to prevent future violations. We also work to reduce or eliminate associated fines.

AQUALIS provides stormwater engineering to facilities across the healthcare industry. From evaluating existing conditions to developing green initiatives like rain gardens and porous pavement, AQUALIS is here to offer support to hospitals and senior living communities. 

Environmental Services for Healthcare Facilities

Stormwater runoff from healthcare properties can carry pollutants such as medical waste, oils and metals into nearby waterways, posing risks to local ecosystems and community well-being. To prevent this, some healthcare facilities are required to adhere to NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permits. These permit requirements may include, annual inspections, water testing and employee training. AQUALIS is here to assist healthcare facilities with maintaining compliance with permits for the betterment of patients and the community.

AQUALIS partners with healthcare organizations to meet these requirements and strengthen environmental compliance. Our specialists design and implement pollution prevention plans, conduct comprehensive site audits and coordinate directly with federal, state and local regulators to ensure full compliance.

We also offer green infrastructure design and native landscaping to help facilities reduce runoff, enhance sustainability and demonstrate environmental leadership.

Environmental services from AQUALIS are designed to uphold your commitment to patient and community health.

Wastewater Services for Educational Facilities

Unlike stormwater, wastewater originates from patient care areas, restrooms and medical waste disposal, requiring specialized wastewater management solutions to mitigate risks.

AQUALIS specializes in wastewater engineering services, including lift station maintenance and repairs, tailored to the unique needs of hospitals and senior living centers. We also install grinders to prevent backups caused by PPE and non-flushable items.

From routine inspections to emergency response, our wastewater management services protect your facility’s infrastructure and support uninterrupted healthcare delivery.

Mitigating Pathogens

Healthcare facilities face increased risks from pathogens in stormwater runoff. Without proper stormwater management, pathogens can infiltrate local water bodies, posing significant community health risks. 

AQUALIS helps hospitals prioritize their external stormwater management systems to mitigate these risks. Our team specializes in advanced filtration systems, backflow prevention and green infrastructure to reduce pathogens in runoff water.
