NSU can collaborate with your business to help you navigate the challenges that come with implementing a water treatment infrastructure.
NSU can help any business implement decentralized water treatment. Our first mission statement in 1984 focused on providing water innovation and environmental stewardship. With that focus and commitment over the last 37 years, we have built a reputation as a partner that finds a way to solve any water equation. We have been fortunate to provide our services in numerous industries and sectors. Below is a list of just a few sectors we support.

Mixed-use communities have been NSU's primary clients for over 35 years. On-site water management could be a suitable option for your mixed-use building for various reasons. Your community might be distant from a centralized system, facing high local costs for water/wastewater services, or aiming to minimize its water footprint. NSU assists mixed-use property owners in saving money and reducing environmental impact by leveraging existing resources.

Universities and colleges, with diverse facilities like student housing, classrooms, and research centers, face significant water challenges. By adopting decentralized water supplies, these institutions can reduce usage and costs, recycling water from various sources like cafeterias and labs. Improving water management not only saves resources but also aligns with sustainability standards, offering research opportunities and meeting expectations from alumni, the community, and leadership.

Stadiums have large water and sewer service needs with a high percentage of non-potable water demands which can be well served by on-site recycling facilities in both sewered and unsewered areas. Golf courses use a large amount of water for irrigation and on-site facilities can reduce costs or provide water security during sustained periods of drought. NSU has worked with athletic complexes of various sizes to implement effective water infrastructures that produce long-term benefits.

Tech campuses are like mixed-use communities which may be too far from centralized systems or may be located in areas with high water and sewer charges. A decentralized water system can give tech buildings the water access necessary for all cooling and cleaning functions. Campuses generate large amounts of wastewater which can be treated and reused on-site for nonpotable purposes. On-site water management makes significant strides toward enhancing environmental stewardship and sustainability initiatives in the tech industry.

Food and beverage facilities have large water demands along with high wastewater surcharges or are operating with limited access to centralized water infrastructure. Water is an essential tool for cleaning produce, meats and the equipment used for production and transportation. A decentralized system will give your food or beverage production facility control over its costs and sustainability efforts.

Other industrial facilities like data centers, airports and pharmaceutical buildings utilize large amounts of water for cooling uses and cleaning processes. Your data center may benefit from utilizing an on-site recycling facility to reduce waste discharges and the amount of potable water being used for cooling purposes. The experts at NSU have the experience to adapt their knowledge to any commercial setting, including data centers.

Hospitals have some of the highest uses of water per square foot. The extensive water consumption in healthcare buildings, driven by equipment cooling demands and various uses like laundry, can benefit from on-site water recycling facilities. Water treatment enables hospitals to repurpose a significant portion of the water they would otherwise discard. Implementing and maintaining a decentralized water system tailored to its needs allows any healthcare facility to reduce costs.

Hotels and Resorts are like mixed-use communities which may be too far from centralized systems or may be located in areas with high water and sewer charges. At scale, these resorts generate large amounts of wastewater which can be treated and reused on-site for nonpotable purposes. A water treatment system can save hotels and resorts money by doing more with the water in circulation.

Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) offer economic development opportunities while sharing costs for infrastructure and maintenance services. NSU presently manages municipal infrastructure and provides design/build services, integrating centralized and decentralized infrastructure to enhance sustainability and resilience initiatives. Engaging in a PPP can provide your organization with the resources required to implement a sustainable, cost-effective decentralized water system. Explore how NSU can assist your efforts.
