General Pump Company Merges with Legend Pump & Well Service
General Pump Company (“GPC”), the leading provider of utility-scale water well and pump services for Southern California’s most essential water infrastructure, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Legend Pump & Well Service (“Legend”). This strategic move marks a significant milestone for both companies, reinforcing their commitment to providing top-tier water well and pump solutions across the region.
Legend Pump & Well Service, headquartered in San Bernardino, CA, was established in 2010 by Keith Collier, a second-generation expert in the water well and pump industry. With over 30 years of industry experience, Collier has dedicated the last 15 years to growing Legend into a highly respected service provider, expanding to multiple field crews and serving hundreds of satisfied customers. Through the merger, GPC and Legend will work together to offer enhanced response times, high-quality engineering solutions, and safer, more efficient field services. Their combined expertise ensures continued excellence in serving a broad customer base throughout Southern California.
For General Pump Company, this acquisition represents a strategic expansion deeper into Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, areas that are crucial to the region’s water infrastructure. With its existing 80-person workforce, extensive fleet of specialized equipment, advanced electrical and control systems capabilities, and in-house pump manufacturing resources, GPC is poised to offer an even higher level of service to customers who previously relied on Legend’s expertise.
Keith Collier, Founder of Legend Pump & Well Service, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “This partnership couldn’t have happened at a better time for our companies. After 15 years of growth, we reached a point where we needed a strong partner to help us continue scaling our operations. We couldn’t be more excited to maintain the same legendary service that our customers have come to trust—now as part of the General Pump team.”
As part of the agreement, the entire Legend Pump & Well Service team, including Collier, will join General Pump Company to ensure a seamless transition for customers. The San Bernardino branch will remain fully operational, and all existing customers will continue to receive service from the same project managers and field crews they have worked with in the past. Additionally, all terms and conditions on existing contracts will be honored, ensuring uninterrupted service and consistency for Legend’s long-standing customer base.
Tim Oman, President of General Pump Company, shared his excitement about the merger, stating, “The GPC team has admired Legend and Keith for years, and we are thrilled to officially join forces. Legend has built a strong reputation in the industry, and we are honored to welcome such a talented group of well and pump professionals to our team. Together, we will continue our commitment to delivering the highest quality service, with safety and reliability at the forefront.”
With water infrastructure demands growing across Southern California, this acquisition positions General Pump Company and Legend to better address the region’s critical water needs. The collaboration will allow for greater operational efficiencies, leveraging the strengths of both companies to provide enhanced services, faster response times, and innovative solutions to customers.
The water well and pump industry is vital to Southern California’s sustainability, playing a key role in ensuring a reliable water supply for municipalities, agricultural operations, and industrial facilities. By combining forces, GPC and Legend will enhance their capabilities to support the region’s infrastructure, providing customers with a more comprehensive suite of services and access to advanced technologies in pump manufacturing, electrical systems, and control solutions.
Looking ahead, General Pump Company remains committed to growth and excellence in water well and pump services. This acquisition reflects its ongoing mission to expand its reach while maintaining the highest standards of service, engineering expertise, and safety. Customers of both GPC and Legend can expect continued innovation and a strengthened ability to meet the challenges of an evolving water infrastructure landscape.
The merger of General Pump Company and Legend Pump & Well Service marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the industry. As they integrate their teams, resources, and expertise, both companies are dedicated to ensuring a seamless transition that benefits their employees, customers, and the broader community.
