Colorado Water Well

What Colorado Water Well does

Colorado Water Well, now operating as PumpMan Colorado, is a Denver-based field-service contractor specializing in water well drilling and water/wastewater pumping systems. Founded in 1965 as Denver Pump Company, the business provides end-to-end services covering system design, installation, inspection, repair, planned maintenance, and 24/7 emergency response for vertical turbine pumps, horizontal pumps, centrifugal pumps, motors, controls, valves, rotating equipment, and water wells. Technical capabilities include precision laser shaft alignment, impeller balancing, system assessments, condition monitoring, vacuum truck service, and industrial controls integration, supported by field technicians and shop facilities at 2001 E 58th Avenue, Denver.

The company serves commercial, industrial, municipal, agricultural, HOA/residential, and golf course customers across the greater Denver market and all of Colorado counties, leveraging state contractor licenses (678 and 1555) and regulatory familiarity with water-supply providers as a positioning advantage. Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services (repair, installation, inspection, emergency response), equipment sales (pumps, motors, controls, valves), and recurring planned maintenance contracts that establish performance baselines and track equipment condition over time. GTM motion is sales-led and field-driven, with phone-based intake, a website service request form, and direct on-site delivery by technicians.

In February 2018, two long-time Colorado water professionals (Ted Kuettel and Tom Dea) purchased the assets and relocated the business to a larger north Denver facility. In April 2023, PumpMan Holdings (part of the Harrington Family / HIPCO) acquired Colorado Water Well, integrating it into a multi-state pump service platform that spans Cleveland, NorCal, Philly, Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Diego, SoCal, St. Louis, and West Virginia. The company now operates under the PumpMan Colorado brand with 11-50 employees and continues to operate as an active subsidiary.
