Who We Are
THE WATERWORKS
We Solve Water Problems
Welcome to The Waterworks, your trusted partner for all water-related solutions. Located in Fairfax, Iowa, we are a family-owned business that's been dedicated to improving water quality since 1969.
Our Story
Founded by Harold "Wig" Shakespeare as "Wig's Water Works" in 1969, and later expanded and re-branded by his nephew Lee Naaktgeboren in 1986, The Waterworks has been providing top-notch water purification equipment for over five decades. After many years as a residential dealer, Lee advanced The Waterworks services into both the commercial and industrial sectors, and then eventually original equipment manufacturing when he patented the original single-tank Air Injection Oxidation (AIO) system. Now owned and operated by Lee's daughter Chris, her husband John, and their sons Spencer and Chase, we continue to uphold the family legacy of quality service and customer satisfaction.
