Hastings Water Works
Hastings Water Works serves residential, commercial and municipal clients. Its 1,500 clients include the Cleveland Clinic Heart Center, Lakewood Hospital, the city of Beachwood and the Peter B. Lewis Therapy Center at Menorah Park. In 2009, the company expanded its footprint to serve clients in the Columbus market. Hastings Water Works is a small business that didn't start in the proverbial basement, but rather on the gravel floor basement of a rented home. Mr. Hastings started the company with one pick-up truck, a pump and a part-time seasonal college employee. "Our success stems from remaining open to new ideas, challenging what and how we do things, seeking out new technologies, new methods, new products and remaining flexible to meet the ever-changing demands of our clients, " according to Mr. Hastings.
