Following Hurricane Katrina, Broaddus & Associates was selected by the Harrison County Utility Authority to manage approximately 28 CDBG-funded water and wastewater infrastructure projects across Mississippi’s Gulf Region. The program included five wastewater treatment facilities, 13 elevated water tanks, 14 water wells, 29 sewer pumping stations, and hundreds of thousands of linear feet of water and sewer infrastructure.

Broaddus & Associates coordinated 12 engineering and testing firms and 15 contractors while managing schedules, budgets, constructability reviews, permitting, and project closeout. The team also helped reinstate the HCUA Technical Advisory Committee, improving project review and decision-making. This effort reduced change orders and helped save significant federal funding while keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
