HQ Water Solutions, a family-owned leader in high-performance water treatment and recipient of the SCORE Lancaster-Lebanon Small Business Award, announced the strategic acquisition of PA Water & Energy Solutions. This merger establishes a regional powerhouse dedicated to solving Central Pennsylvania’s most pressing water quality challenges, from hard water damage to the rising threat of PFAS “forever chemicals.”
By uniting PA Water & Energy’s decades (est. 1984) of community trust with HQ’s cutting-edge technical innovation, the acquisition elevates the standard for both residential and commercial customers. HQ Water Solutions is scaling its signature “Education-First” model, providing water softening, reverse osmosis, and customized whole-house systems to a rapidly growing client base.
“This is a promise kept to our neighbors,” said Ian of PA Water & Energy. “Our long-time customers gain immediate access to the most advanced water technology on the market while retaining the ‘neighbor-to-neighbor’ care they’ve trusted for decades.”
Founded in 2020 by Stephen and Jordan Evangelista, HQ Water Solutions has evolved from a local startup into a nationally recognized authority. This expansion will catalyze the Lancaster economy through immediate workforce recruitment and the search for a new headquarters. As HQ Water Solutions continues to evolve, it is widening the gap between its high-caliber customer care and education and the basic service offered by the rest of the market.
