Clean, safe water

Cadmus partners with clients to improve the resilience and performance of water systems, ensuring communities have reliable access to clean, safe water.

We help our clients maximize benefits for communities and economies

We partner with governments, tribes, water and wastewater utilities, and organizations to develop and implement strategies that address today’s challenges to effectively safeguard water. For over 40 years, we’ve helped our clients adapt to change, reduce costs, strengthen resilience, and shape a future where prosperity and clean, safe water go hand in hand.

Regulatory Development & Implementation

We provide rigorous assessment of water contaminant risks, conduct detailed impact analyses, and manage public involvement processes that inform final rulemaking and implementation guidance, such as recent EPA regulations that address PFAS and replacement of lead service lines. 

Needs Analysis & Resource Planning

We conduct needs analyses to understand state and utility resource gaps to implement drinking water regulations and protect public health—addressing critical topics such as capacity development, infrastructure planning, emergency preparedness, and emerging contaminants.

Watershed Protection & Restoration

We apply a systematic approach and data analysis to develop practical watershed management solutions that protect water quality and provide many co-benefits, such as wildlife habitat restoration and improved water quality to support economic development and recreational use.

Our interdisciplinary expertise in engineering, policy, data, ecology, and stakeholder engagement enables us to connect the dots across complex water systems, delivering holistic solutions that maximize co-benefits for communities.
