Nute Engineering is a consulting engineering firm located in San Rafael, California, providing planning, facility design, capital planning, mapping and construction management services in the fields of environmental protection, water and wastewater and water reuse. 

Founded in 1945, Nute Engineering has over 80 years specialized experience in environmental, civil and sanitary engineering services, including the facility planning and design of sewer and flood control drainage, pump stations, wastewater and recycled water treatment plants and water reclamation systems, as well as contract services for public agencies. Nute Engineering has since its inception provided strong leadership on projects to achieve the goals of communities to provide clean, long-lasting and reliable infrastructures as well as supporting a healthy environment by upholding the standards of the US Clean Water Act and the California State and Local Water Board and Air Resources Districts.

Featured Experience with Municipal and Public Clients

Sanitation and other public agencies require regular maintenance of sewer systems, development of emergency responses to equipment and system failures and planning for facility expansion and improvements to meet the future growth of their communities.

Nute Engineering provides responsive service for clients who may need quick response planning expertise, design services, project management and field services for both planned infrastructure projects and emergency situations.  

Because most clients are working with small budgets to meet large needs and are held accountable by the public for the use of their funds, Nute Engineering uses creativity and experience to achieve an optimum balance between client's design needs with available resources.Once the goals or objectives to be achieved are identified, Nute Engineering assists the client to formulate strategies to achieve them and in many cases helps design, implement, direct, and monitor all steps in the process.


Nute Engineering has established many long term relationships with sanitary districts. Below is a project completed by Warren Nute (on the left) in 1966 for Mt. View Sanitary District (MVSD).
