Utilities schedule their maintenance. Pumps, motors and gearboxes come out on planned outages, so a repair shop is judged by whether the part is ready when the window opens. The Census Bureau's 2023 County Business Patterns counts 21 utility establishments in Washoe County, 14 of them in electric power, and 126 across Nevada.

Love working with these guys, and gal. Great customer service and knowledgeable skill base. They have helped with many big projects and have always pulled though when our machines went down.
Planned work leaves room to plan the repair
A utility knows when a pump comes out and how long the outage runs. That helps a shop. If the part arrives with notes on its history and a few photos, the repair can be planned before it is on the bench. For a gearbox, the nameplate and how it failed are the most useful details, and a pump needs its model, shaft diameter and a photo of the worn area; our gearbox rebuild guide lays out the steps.
The supply side of the system
This page covers the supply side: the pumps that lift and move water, and the drives and gearboxes at power companies. We do pump repair and fabrication for water and power companies, and gearbox rebuilds for power companies. Treatment plants have their own page, wastewater treatment.
Pump work is covered in detail on the pump, shaft and turbine repair page, and the gearbox repair page covers rebuilds.
Who is nearby
The Reno-Sparks area is served by the Truckee Meadows Water Authority, which publishes information about its system. In the counties we draw from, the Census count of utility establishments is 8 in Carson City, 7 in Lyon County and 6 in Churchill County. County Business Patterns counts private establishments only, so public utilities may not appear in it.
