Spent some time this week helping a customer figure out their septic and water options for a children's home spread across a few properties.

Three buildings, four lots, a creek through the middle, and wells on every lot. Each of those limits how much you can build and how many beds each house can hold. Then it turned out they already had a public water system on the property across the road, which opened up some better options.

We laid out seven different ways to do it and showed what each one would really get them. That way they can make a decision before paying for a full design.

If you've got a property that doesn't fit the usual mold, give us a call.

Small lot, two water wells, and clay soil. There was no room for a disposal field anywhere on this property, so this one got a holding tank.

A holding tank is a sealed tank with no outlet. Everything stays in the tank until a waste hauler pumps it out, and an alarm goes off when it's time to call for a pump-out. This house will need pumping about once a week.

Holding tanks are only allowed when no other type of septic system will work on the property.

A site evaluation is more than soil borings.

I recently did one for a designer who's out of town. Along with the soil tests, the packet included a boundary and site plan, well setbacks (including a neighbor's well buffer that carries onto this property), contour and slope mapping, NRCS soil data compared to field findings, and the FEMA flood map.

Soils tell you what the ground can handle. The rest of the site tells you where a system can actually go. With all of it in hand, the designer can lay out an accurate system without guessing.

Need site evaluations in the Houston area and surrounding counties? Reach out.

Most septic systems are built around a house. This one is built around 1,000 people on a Saturday.

We just finished the design for a baseball complex in Bosque County. The fields are packed on weekends and empty all week, so the system holds the weekend flow in equalization tanks and meters it out evenly over seven days. The treatment units get the same steady flow every day, and the spray field only runs between midnight and 5 AM.

If you've got a ballpark, church, event venue, RV park, or any site that doesn't fit a normal residential design, give us a call.

25 years later, we remember.

We remember the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger, the families whose lives changed forever, and the service members who answered the call in the years that followed.

As a veteran-owned business, today carries a meaning that is difficult to put into words.

May we never forget the lives lost, the sacrifices made, and the unity we showed as Americans.

🇺🇸 Never Forget. 9.11.2001 🇺🇸

Had a commercial project come across my desk this week. Preliminary drawing, rough numbers from the owner, nothing built yet.

Ran the wastewater flow. Came in about 50% over what a septic system is legally allowed to handle in Texas.

Here’s the good news: they asked early. Nothing’s drawn final, nothing’s poured. They’ve still got options — adjust the program, split the property, or go a different route entirely. All of that is on the table because the question got asked at the concept stage instead of after.

That’s how it’s supposed to work.

If you’re planning something commercial on septic, run the numbers while the plan is still a sketch.

Not every project starts with a blank sheet of paper.

This one was all about planning for the future while making today’s system work.

Instead of designing a brand-new wastewater system, we developed a phased master plan around an existing commercial OSSF. Each phase adds only the components needed at that point in construction, while ensuring the entire system is already engineered for the property’s ultimate buildout.

That means every future tank, treatment unit, pump, spray zone, and piece of infrastructure has already been considered. As the facility grows, the wastewater system grows right along with it—without having to redesign everything each time.

Good engineering isn’t just solving today’s problem. It’s making sure today’s decisions still make sense years from now.

Not every septic design is straightforward… and this one definitely kept us on our toes.

This project involved designing a wastewater system for multiple residences, multiple shops, existing structures, reserve areas, floodplain considerations, neighboring wells, and future expansion, all while making sure every setback, hydraulic calculation, and TCEQ requirement was met.

On paper it may look like a bunch of lines, but every line has a purpose. A project like this takes a lot of planning, problem-solving, and attention to detail to make everything work together properly.

These are the kinds of projects we enjoy—finding solutions where others see obstacles.

If you need a residential or commercial wastewater design, Meyer Environmental Designs is here to help.

Every project is different, and commercial work definitely keeps us on our toes.

We’re currently designing the wastewater systems for a new commercial complex with multiple warehouse buildings. Even though they’re all on the same property, each warehouse gets its own system designed specifically for its expected use and wastewater flow.

There’s a lot more that goes into these projects than most people realize. It takes careful planning, hydraulic calculations, and making sure everything meets code while still allowing room for future growth.

It’s projects like this that remind us why every design should be done right the first time.
