Utility Management & Construction Company (UMCCO) specializes in the management and operations of small utility systems (Rural Waters Systems or Public Trusts or Authority). 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 (UMC
Co) was founded in 1962 by Raymond Lucas as the Lucas Construction Company. In 1982, Lucas Construction changed its name to Utility Management and Construction. From that time, UMCCo has increased operations from the original three contracts that provided water-systems management for 1200 customers to nine contracts serving over 5000 customers. 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. What We Do
