Hydro International Adds Maintenance Services for Stormwater Control Portfolio

PORTLAND, Maine - Hydro International today announced plans to expand its service portfolio to offer maintenance contracts for its stormwater control implementations.

Hydro has reached a deal to subcontract its maintenance support services to Drainage Protection Systems of Murietta, Calif.

Regular maintenance of stormwater treatment devices is crucial to the continued optimal performance of treatment systems. Without maintenance, a treatment device will fill to capacity with captured pollutants and then be unable to capture any additional pollutants.

“At Hydro International, we are committed to providing products that not only help sustain the environment as a whole but also prove to be long-term sustainable solutions for the customers themselves,” said Dave Mongeau, general manager of Hydro’s U.S. stormwater operations. “This maintenance contract demonstrates our commitment to the sustainability of our products. If they are going to be sustainable long term solutions, they need maintenance.” 

Maintenance of stormwater control systems tends to vary from site to site and from region to region. Few regulatory agencies require regular maintenance, and in most locations such services are conducted at the goodwill of the owner.

“We find many private developers, site operators and municipalities don’t invest in proper maintenance because they lack the resources to conduct the maintenance themselves,” said Gary Jones, vice president of Drainage Protection Systems. “Working with Hydro International, we can provide a cost-effective, strategic set of services that will contribute to the viability of specific projects for years to come.”
