WATERWAYHOSE TESTING UNDER NEWOWNERSHIP

After over 15 years of servicing Long Island and Westchester fire departments, Waterway Long Island has sold the Fire Hose Testing and Nozzle/Appliance/System Testing portions of the company in order to focus more on their mobile Pump Testing and Apparatus Weighing services they offer.

Waterway Long Island was formed in 2008 by the Schuman family after determining that there were no local fire equipment testing ser vices located on Long Island. Beginning with a promise to provide quality service using local firefighters, Waterway Long Island was born and has since grown to service nearly 200 customers on Long Island and lower Westchester Counties. Although two other local companies were formed the very same year, through hard work Waterway Long Island grew to be the only hose test company on Long Island, last year testing nearly 2.5 million feet of hose.

When first formed, hose testing was the only service Waterway provided. In response to customer requests as well as ever-changing NFPA requirements, Waterway had become a complete one-stop-shop that makes it painless for Fire Departments to comply with the annual inspection / testing standards and required documentation. Fast-forward to today and they currently provide hose, nozzle, appliance, and system flow testing, fire hose de-con / cleaning, hydrant testing, and on-site LDH repairs.

Michael Mullaney and David Montoya are the new owners of Waterway Long Island Hose Testing. They are currently Waterway operators serving customers throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Western New York. They are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Long Island Fire Service. First and foremost, they would like to assure that the same dedication and commitment to professionalism that you have come to expect from working with Waterway Long Island will continue. The current hose test crew is comprised almost entirely of volunteer firefighters from throughout Long Island and trained to the same high standards they have focused on since Waterway Long Island was started on day one.

Wantagh Ex-Chief Steve Schuman and Ex-Captain Steve Schuman Jr. would like to "Thank all our customers for trusting them to test the equipment you rely your lives on for over 15 years. This decision is not one we take lightly. As 2nd and 3rd generation firefighters, we have a vested interest in this business and have the utmost confidence that Mike and Dave will continue to hold these same values to the highest level. Rest assured we are not going anywhere and will always be available to answer any questions and provide support on past work. Going forward, we will be operating as Waterway Pump Testing & Weigh Services."
