Water Structures Unlimited® is committed to customer satisfaction through the sales and support of AquaDams® and the provision of professional services. Here are a few a our already satisfied customers:

Eric Lacher, Asst. Superintendent of Parks, Batavia, Illinois:

"To this date, everything is holding! You can only guess how happy that makes everyone here, especially those of us who were wallowing in the muck installing the structure."

El Dorado County Department of Transportation:

"Better than anything we've ever used. They're the best thing since the wheel when it comes to water containment. Once you get them into place you don't have to deal with ‘em. You just have to make sure that you maintain the water pressure in ‘em. If you take a normal stream, where you have normal flow, once you've got them in you just go about your business. There's not a lot of time spent maintaining them while you're working. They're terrific!"

City of Sacramento Drainage Superintendent:
"The City's AquaDams® have saved the City substantial money on both equipment and manpower. In the past, a dewatering problem in a canal meant that crews either built an earthen dam, or a sandbag barrier to block the water flow. Each process requires substantial time, equipment, and manpower. The time and equipment savings to use Water Structures® in these situations is at least half, maybe more."

Clear Lake Lands Coordinator, Skip Simkins:

"With AquaDams® you don't have to worry about any sandbags left on top of your levee. Once they are rerolled and removed to storage there is no need for further clean up to the area. This also allows the natural vegetation can come right back. You can't ask for anything better! If technicians are in the locale, and they have AquaDams® with them, you've got them--right now. I'm sold!"
