Service Work

End users expect their water departments to respond immediately to an interruption in service, regardless of the time – night or day. Our customers deserve that same response from us. For that reason, we have a policy of providing 24-hour-a-day emergency service for our customers who need that help.

We realize, too, that some towns and contractors cannot justify purchasing costly service equipment for the minimal use it would receive each year. As a result, services such as pipe tapping, valve insertions, leak locating, in-line large water meter testing and sewer line air testing have become a major part of our business.

Some of our competitors think it foolish to worry about good service as much as we do. What do you think?

We are a customer-oriented company. Since our inception, service has been our most important business. We have continually increased the services available to you, our valued customer, to the point where we offer the most complete and extensive service department in the business.
