Utility Management and Construction

Our Mission: We are servant leaders and technicians who believe that water is life! Our mission is to provide the highest quality drinking water available to the communities we serve while protecting the natural resources and environment in which we operate. Who We Are: Utility Management and Construction (UMCCo) was founded in 1962 as the Lucas Construction Company. In 1982, Lucas Construction changed its name to Utility Management and Construction.

At UMCCo, we’re experts in our field! We are engineers, accountants, billing clerks, and field technicians that genuinely care about communities we serve. This is because, like you, we live in these same communities. Your drinking water is also our drinking water. In fact, the average age of our contracts are over 24 years old. Our longevity is proof of our quality and commitment to you.
