Company History

The founder began working on pumps for Glastonbury Hardware in the late 1960s and launched Glastonbury Well Pump Services in 1990. The firm grew modestly from a one-person operation into a small, local business known in the river valley towns.

Records show that the business has closed. While active, it built a reputation for practical, no-frills workmanship and a focus on well systems that are common in East-Central Connecticut.

Leadership

The owner brought decades of hands-on experience to the work. Having learned the trade at a neighborhood hardware store, the founder maintained close ties to local suppliers and homeowners. He understood regional concerns — cold winters, seasonal groundwater changes, and older homes with original well systems.

The leadership was community-minded and often spoke with neighbors about simple maintenance steps to avoid freeze damage and premature pump wear.
