American Wastewater Systems

Business Information
After more than 30 years of development, American Wastewater Systems, Inc., formerly Ace Plumbing and Sewer, Inc., has become a true leader in the wastewater treatment industry.

We began operations early in 1981, by installing home sewer systems and working as master plumbers, all from the confines of our home-office-warehouse location. In 1992 we curtailed our plumbing business and concentrated more on the wastewater treatment industry. We bought a 5000 sq. ft. metal building on a 250’ X 260’ lot and proceeded to manufacture and continue to install home wastewater treatment plants.

Four years later, in 1996, we expanded our operations and began to manufacture and install commercial treatment plants and lift stations. Within one year’s time we had become the largest distributor of commercial plants in the state of Louisiana, for Jet, Inc., a manufacturer of engineered wastewater treatment plants.

American Wastewater Systems, Inc. established its corporate office location in June 1999. We purchased a new 16.5-acre location; featuring a two-story office complex with extensive warehouse space, an all-weather casting facility, and over 5 acres of cargo storage area for castings. By this time, we had become the largest Jet, Inc. commercial wastewater treatment plant distributor, not only in Louisiana, but also in the United States.

We have designed our own “Class 1” residential wastewater treatment system called B.E.S.T. 1. With the successful testing and approval by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), we began manufacturing and marketing these units in May of 2000. Patent rights were secured on July 24, 2001 under Patent No. US D 445,477 S. Our B.E.S.T. 1 was the first ANSI/NSF Standard 40 system introduced to the Louisiana market and fully complies with the newly required regulations being enforced as of March 1, 2001.
