Scott Lewis
President / Owner
Scott Lewis joined the firm in 2014, after twelve years in the information technology field. With the growing prevalence of computerized control systems in the waterworks industry, he brought in-house technology expertise to the company. Scott purchased the business from Tom Lewis in 2022.
Scott brings his knowledge of computer technology to helping customers understand the increasingly sophisticated capabilities of the tools and equipment offered. He focuses on training customers in the use of line locating products and assists in purchase decisions involving valve exercising equipment. All of these products now incorporate complex electronic controls.
Tom Lewis
Founder
Company founder Tom Lewis’s 40+ years of industrial sales experience taught him that even the best quality tool is only as valuable as the operator’s ability to use it properly. That led him to develop a strong consultative stance in providing equipment to water, sewer, and gas industry professionals.
A graduate of the University of Arkansas in Business Administration, Tom has an extensive track record of providing seminar-based product training for the products Lewis Municipal Sales represents. He has designed and delivered comprehensive product training in conjunction with the American Water Works Association and the Rural Water Associations of West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Michigan.
