Reliable Solutions to Keep Your Property Safe, Functional, and Well-Maintained
At Tight Group, we understand that watershed ponds are not just structures—they are critical stormwater systems required by the City of Austin to manage runoff, protect water quality, and reduce flooding risks. Unlike traditional wet ponds, these specialized ponds (sedimentation, sand filtration, detention, and subterranean) only hold water during rain events and must drain completely within 96 hours.
With over 25 years of experience, Tight Group has been the trusted partner for property owners to bring their ponds back into compliance with the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department. From addressing deficiencies to managing inspections, we handle the entire process seamlessly—so you don’t have to.
Tight Group specializes in correcting all common deficiencies, including:
At Tight Group, we make City of Austin watershed pond compliance simple and stress-free. With over 25 years of experience, we’ve developed a proven process that guides property owners step-by-step, from the first violation notice to full compliance approval. Here’s how we make it easy for you:
We start by sending the property owner or tenant a detailed estimate packet—completely free of charge. This packet outlines the scope of work, the repairs needed, and a clear cost breakdown. It also includes a service agreement for you to review and sign, so we can officially get started.
Once we receive your signed agreement, we immediately notify your assigned City of Austin Watershed Inspector. This ensures the city is aware that your pond is under contract and actively being repaired. This step demonstrates your commitment to compliance and helps avoid unnecessary penalties.
Next, we’ll schedule a convenient time to perform all necessary repairs. Our team of experienced pond specialists works efficiently and thoroughly, addressing every item noted in your violation report. From sediment removal to structural fixes, we handle it all.
After completing the repairs, we coordinate with your City Inspector to schedule a follow-up inspection. We’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure everything is properly documented and approved.
Once your pond passes inspection, we’ll deliver an official release letter from the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department, confirming that your pond is now fully compliant. This letter is sent to you along with your final invoice for services rendered.
To help you stay compliant and avoid future violations, we provide a tailored quarterly maintenance plan for your property. This proactive service ensures your pond remains functional, safe, and always inspection-ready.
At Tight Group, we stand behind our work with a compliance guarantee designed to protect property owners from costly penalties:
No Fines Guarantee – If you hire us and sign our contract within 21 days of your estimate, you will not be responsible for penalties or fines moving forward.
If the City issues a fine after you’ve signed within 21 days, we will cover the cost as a discount to your invoice (up to the full invoice amount).
We also cover any re-inspection fees if required.
All repairs are completed to meet or exceed the standards of the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department.
Guarantee applies only if the pond has not already entered the court system.
This guarantee gives you peace of mind knowing your pond—and your property—is in expert hands.
