HUNTINGTON, W.Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For more than nine decades CITCO Water has served the water and wastewater industries with a clear mission: to provide customers everything needed to “take water from the source, deliver it to the consumer, and return it back to the source again.” CITCO Water sums up this mission in four simple words: “Solutions driven. Commitment given.”

Today, CITCO Water is proud to announce the addition of Pump & Process Equipment, Inc. and Legacy Environmental to the CITCO Water family. This partnership significantly expands CITCO’s presence in the Southeastern United States, strengthening the company’s ability to deliver comprehensive equipment, treatment, and process solutions across the region.

The addition of these organizations represents a major milestone in CITCO Water’s strategy to build the premier platform serving the waterworks and wastewater industries—combining leading equipment manufacturers, advanced treatment technologies, PVF, chemical treatment solutions, water metering solutions and technical expertise to support municipalities, utilities, engineers, contractors, and industrial customers.

Founded in 1931 in Huntington, WV by Charles Irving Thornburg, CITCO has been family-operated ever since Web Morrison purchased the company in 1958. The organization has grown into a regional leader employing more than 190 people across West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. Today, CITCO Water offers six sub-brands providing customers with comprehensive waterworks solutions including chemical, smart meter, integrated technology, hardware, inventory, and repair services.

The addition of Pump & Process Equipment, Inc. and Legacy Environmental expands CITCO’s capabilities into critical equipment and treatment technologies that support water and wastewater infrastructure across the Southeastern United States, including Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

The company partners with leading equipment manufacturers to provide pumping systems, treatment equipment, and process solutions supported by deep technical expertise and long-standing relationships with consulting engineers, municipalities, and contractors.

Legacy Environmental, based in Leeds, Alabama, specializes in the design and supply of packaged wastewater treatment systems and advanced process solutions. The company has developed innovative systems utilizing technologies such as filtration systems, clarifiers, and lift stations to help communities and industrial customers manage increasingly complex water treatment challenges.

Together, these companies bring expanded engineering expertise, innovative treatment solutions, and strong manufacturer relationships that will enhance CITCO Water’s ability to support customers throughout the entire water and wastewater lifecycle.
