Comprehensive Civil Construction

Solutions for Water and Wastewater Infrastructure

At Persons and Son, Inc., we specialize in building and maintaining the infrastructure that keeps communities safe, healthy, and thriving. With over 50 years of experience and four generations of family leadership, our team combines expert craftsmanship, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to safety on every project.

We provide turnkey civil construction services—from initial site development to complex water and wastewater systems—tailored to meet the needs of municipalities, utility districts, state and federal agencies, and private developers.

Clean Water Systems

Access to safe, clean drinking water is the foundation of every healthy community. Our team designs and installs water treatment and distribution systems that deliver reliable service and long-term value. We specialize in water line installation, main extensions, valve and hydrant placement, and system upgrades to meet modern standards for efficiency and quality.

Sanitary Sewer Systems

We construct complete sanitary sewer networks that support effective wastewater collection and transport. From gravity and force mains to manholes and service laterals, our experienced crews ensure systems are built to code and engineered for performance. We understand the importance of precision in every phase—from excavation to final connection—to protect public health and the environment.

Storm Water Systems

Storm water management plays a vital role in protecting infrastructure, property, and natural waterways. Our team installs and maintains storm drains, culverts, and detention basins designed to handle runoff safely and effectively. Whether it’s a new development or an infrastructure upgrade, we help communities manage storm water responsibly and sustainably.

Sewer Point Repair Work

Not every repair requires full system replacement. Our sewer point repair services address localized issues efficiently, minimizing disruption while extending the life of existing infrastructure. Using proven methods and durable materials, we identify and repair damaged or failing sections to restore flow and function quickly.

Treatment Plants

We build and rehabilitate water and wastewater treatment plants that meet today’s regulatory and environmental standards. From foundations and concrete structures to mechanical and process equipment installation, we bring precision and reliability to every phase. Our team understands the critical nature of these facilities and delivers work that communities can depend on for decades.

Lift Stations

Lift stations are essential components in modern wastewater systems, ensuring reliable flow where gravity systems alone can’t reach. We design, construct, and maintain lift stations tailored to site conditions and capacity needs—complete with pumps, controls, and backup systems to ensure continuous performance and safety compliance.

Water Filtration Systems

Clean, safe drinking water starts with effective filtration. We construct water filtration systems designed to remove impurities and meet stringent quality standards. Our solutions are built to handle community-scale demands, combining efficient design, durable materials, and reliable operation for long-term service.

Site Development and Excavation

Every successful project begins with a solid foundation. Our site development services include grading, excavation, trenching, utility installation, and erosion control. We provide complete site preparation for municipal, commercial, and industrial developments—ensuring projects start on time, on budget, and on solid ground.

Civil Construction for Public and Private Projects

From large-scale municipal utilities to private developments, we bring the same level of care and professionalism to every project. Our capabilities span concrete structures, utility coordination, and infrastructure rehabilitation. Whether we’re expanding capacity or building from the ground up, our focus remains on safety, quality, and long-term reliability.

At Persons and Son, Inc., our work is more than construction—it’s a commitment to protecting communities and the environment for generations to come.
