Utility Design Services in Texas: Water, Wastewater, and Storm Systems Engineered for Your Site
A site does not function until the utilities do. Magrym delivers water, wastewater, and storm utility design across Midland and the Permian Basin, engineered to serve the site, tie into the system, and satisfy the reviewing authority and the serving provider. Magrym provides utility design services in Texas built to connect cleanly and clear review the first time.
The Systems That Make the Site Work
Utility design is the civil engineering that brings water, wastewater, and storm drainage to a site and ties it into the larger system. It is the mains, the services, the lift stations, and the connections that let the buildings function and the site drain. The design has to serve the demand, meet the code, and satisfy both the reviewing authority and the utility provider it connects to.
The cost of a utility plan is rarely the design. It is the coordination. A service that conflicts with the storm line, a connection the provider will not accept, or a plan that misses the fire flow requirement all send the project back for a redesign. Magrym engineers the utilities to serve the site, clear review, and connect cleanly the first time.
Because we survey the parcel and design the whole site, the utilities are laid out with the grading, the roads, and the buildings from the start, not fit in afterward. Our licensed engineers coordinate the water, wastewater, and storm design with the rest of the civil, so the systems fit together and one firm stays accountable. You talk directly to the engineer on your project.
Utility Design, Coordinated With the Site
We cover the water, wastewater, and storm utility scope your site needs, laid out with the rest of the civil design.
Water Distribution
We design the water mains, services, and appurtenances that supply the site, sized for the domestic demand and the fire flow the code requires. This is water distribution system design built to meet fire flow and domestic demand together.
- Water mains and services
- Fire flow and hydrants
- Valves and appurtenances
Wastewater Collection
We design the sanitary sewer collection that serves the site, from the service lines to the mains, at the slopes and depths that keep it flowing. Every wastewater collection system design we deliver is built to keep flow moving at the right grade.
- Sanitary sewer mains
- Manholes and service lines
- Grades and flow design
Storm Drainage Systems
We design the storm sewer, inlets, and outfalls that collect runoff and carry it off the site, coordinated with the grading and detention design. This storm drain design is coordinated with the site’s grading and detention from day one.
- Storm sewer and inlets
- Pipe sizing and hydraulics
- Outfall and connection design
Lift Stations and Pumping
Where gravity will not carry the flow, we design the lift stations and pump systems that move water and wastewater to where it needs to go. This is underground utility design built for sites where gravity alone will not do the job.
- Lift station design
- Force mains
- Pump sizing and controls
Utility Coordination
We coordinate the utilities with each other and with the dry utilities, and we work with the serving providers so the connections are accepted. Our utility coordination services catch conflicts on paper, before construction. We also coordinate dry utility design with the electrical, gas, and communications providers on the same site.
- Wet and dry utility coordination
- Provider connection coordination
- Conflict resolution
Plans and Permitting
We deliver the utility construction plans and carry them through the reviewing authority and the provider approval, responding to comments to keep it moving.
- Utility construction plans
- AHJ and provider submittals
- Review comment responses
Who Relies on Our Utility Design
Every developed site needs utilities designed to serve it and accepted by the provider.
Developers and Builders
Subdivision and commercial sites need water, sewer, and storm designed and connected. We lay out the utilities with the site so the systems fit and the connections are accepted.
Commercial and Retail
Commercial buildings need the water, fire flow, and sewer sized for the use and the code. We design the utilities to serve the building and pass the review. That includes wastewater collection system design sized for the building’s actual use.
Municipalities and Public
Public and institutional projects need utility design that meets the standard and the provider requirements. We deliver the plans and the coordination these projects require. This is the utility infrastructure design public projects depend on to pass review.
Energy and Industrial
Facility sites across the Permian Basin need water, wastewater, and drainage designed for the operation. We provide the utility civil coordinated with the site design. That includes storm drain design sized for the site’s actual runoff.
Utilities Designed With the Whole Site
Utility conflicts come from designing the systems in isolation. Magrym is the Midland firm that surveys the parcel and designs the whole site, so the utilities are laid out with the grading and the roads from the start and one firm stays accountable for how they fit. Our utility coordination services are built into the site design from day one, not added at the end.

From Demand to Connected Utilities
A clear path, run by the same engineer, built to serve the site and clear review.
Demand and Scope
We confirm the water, sewer, and storm demand, the code, and the serving providers, and pull the survey so the design starts from real conditions. Fixed-fee proposal up front. Water utility design starts here, with the real demand and the real ground.
Layout and Coordination
We lay out the utilities with the grading and the roads, size the systems, and coordinate the connections so nothing conflicts before we detail the design.
Design and Submittal
We complete the water, wastewater, and storm plans, seal them, and submit to the AHJ and the provider, responding to comments to keep the project moving.
Approval and Construction
Once approved, you have utility plans the contractor can build and the provider will accept. We stay available through construction to handle questions and changes.

Utility design is the part of civil engineering that brings water, wastewater, and storm drainage to a site and ties it into the larger system. It includes the mains, services, lift stations, and connections, sized for the demand and designed to meet the code and the requirements of the reviewing authority and the serving utility provider.
We design water distribution, sanitary sewer collection, and storm drainage, including lift stations and force mains where the flow needs pumping. We also coordinate with the dry utilities and the serving providers. These are the wet utilities that make a site function, designed as part of the overall civil design. Water distribution system design is the starting point for most of these scopes.
Utilities share the same ground and cross each other, so a plan that designs them in isolation creates conflicts that surface during construction and cost time and money to fix. Designing the water, sewer, storm, and dry utilities together, with the grading and the roads, catches the conflicts on paper. We coordinate all of it as part of the site design.
Yes. The connection to the public system has to be accepted by the utility provider, and providers have their own standards and approval process. We coordinate the design and the connections with the serving provider so the plan meets their requirements and the connection is approved, not just the city’s site review.
Utility design engineers the new water, sewer, and storm systems for a site. Subsurface utility engineering, or SUE, locates and maps the existing underground utilities so a project knows what is already in the ground. They work together: SUE tells you what is there, and utility design lays out the new systems around it. Magrym provides both.
Yes. Utility design is part of our civil engineering, which we provide alongside land surveying and construction services. The same firm can survey the parcel, design the site, the grading, and the utilities together, locate the existing utilities with SUE, stake it for construction, and provide construction inspections during the build, which keeps everything coordinated on one set of data.
