Company History

Ashokan Water Services was founded in 1997 by a group of water industry engineers who loved paddling and practical solutions. They started by solving water waste and backflow problems in large NYC buildings. Over time, the company grew into a recognized water management firm that focuses on conservation and clean supply from the Ashokan Reservoir to Brooklyn taps.

The firm developed long-term backflow plans to help managers avoid recurring violations. That practical approach grew from a simple idea: small tests and regular maintenance prevent big fines and health risks.

Leadership

Hershel is president of the New York chapter of the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE) and belongs to AWWA, NYARM, and BOMA.
