Municipal & Wastewater Design and Engineering Services

Serving Hillsborough, Polk, Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Citrus, Levy, Marion, and Sumter Counties

From lift stations and sewer lines to stormwater infrastructure and permitting, ACE Septic & Waste provides full-service wastewater engineering solutions for municipalities, large-scale developments, and industrial facilities across the Tampa Bay region.

Our in-house team holds septic, plumbing, electrical, and CBC contracting licenses, allowing us to manage projects from concept to compliance without relying on third parties. Whether you’re upgrading aging infrastructure or planning a new subdivision, we bring the experience, accuracy, and regulatory insight to deliver on time and within scope.

Lift Station Design & Engineering

Lift stations are the heart of Florida’s municipal and industrial wastewater systems and are often the most heavily regulated. ACE Septic designs and engineers complete lift station packages that meet Florida DEP standards and local municipal codes.

Our services include:

  • Pump selection, wet well sizing, and flow calculations
  • Electrical panel design with backup power and SCADA integration
  • Alarm systems and telemetry for remote monitoring
  • Site layout and elevation planning to comply with floodplain and access codes
  • Full permitting support with DEP and county utilities

We help clients avoid delays and costly redesigns by delivering compliant, ready-to-approve plans from the earliest stages of the design process.

Municipal Collection & Transmission System Design

Designing a reliable sewer or wastewater collection system requires foresight, coordination, and deep regulatory knowledge beyond just knowing pipe layouts. ACE works with civil engineers, city planners, and utility departments to design practical, maintainable wastewater infrastructure.

Services include:

  • Force main and gravity system planning
  • Utility hole and access point design for long-term serviceability
  • Pump station tie-ins and interconnects
  • Utility coordination and easement documentation
  • GIS-compatible plans and as-builts for integration into public systems

Whether expanding a city system or designing a private utility district, we deliver solutions built to scale.

Stormwater Drainage & Infrastructure Design

Effective stormwater design protects both the environment and your project’s future. ACE designs stormwater infrastructure to control runoff, minimize erosion, and meet regional water quality standards.

Our capabilities include:

  • Storm drain layout and catch basin placement
  • Retention and detention pond engineering
  • Grading, flow modeling, and erosion control planning
  • SWFWMD (Southwest Florida Water Management District) permitting and water quality compliance
  • Integration with septic, wastewater, or potable water infrastructure


We specialize in turnkey drainage plans for developments that require both wastewater and stormwater solutions.

Regulatory Planning & Permitting Support

Navigating Florida’s permitting process is complex, especially when DEP, water management companies, and multiple county agencies are involved. Our team streamlines the process by handling all planning, documentation, and submittals on your behalf.

We provide:

  • DEP and SWFWMD permit coordination
  • Pre-application meetings and plan reviews
  • Variance and waiver request support
  • Erosion control/NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) documentation
  • Timeline management and response tracking


We work directly with planning departments across Tampa Bay to keep projects moving and ensure approval packages are complete and compliant.

Why Choose ACE for Wastewater Infrastructure Projects

At ACE Septic & Waste, we bring a rare combination of technical expertise, regulatory fluency, and boots-on-the-ground experience to every infrastructure project. Our team holds licenses in septic, plumbing, CBC contracting, and electrical work, allowing us to manage complex wastewater projects entirely in-house.

We are deeply familiar with DEP and county-level permitting processes—we work with these agencies every week.
