Report
Burbach Aquatics' reputation of never having a failed facility makes them the best choice in the industry. They are there to support the community and it's taxpayers. They work only for municipalities and receive no "kick backs" from any suppliers or contractors. Burbach is my #1 recommendation to any community.

Report
Regarding Grand Marais, the previous review is very misleading and was posted by a competitors surrogate. Burbach Aquatics has provide excellent service to the City and has very graciously worked with both the city and county as the project has matured. It is very disappointing and unfortunate that baseless accusations can be held as reality.
