Locally grown and cultivated since 1985

A local business since 1985

In 1985, Watermaster was co-founded by Mike Buxkemper and Louis Warren as a local business here in Lubbock.  Mike and Louis grew the company by cultivating generations of relationships.  Their values of delivering high-quality products and superior customer service built a strong foundation that has stood the test of time.  Fostered by their leadership, Watermaster continued to flourish year after year. Mike retired in 2016 due to medical issues and subsequently passed away in 2020.  Louis retired in 2021 but remains a part of the Watermaster family.

 

A continuing legacy

Jeromy Gowdy joined Watermaster in 1994 and was mentored by these two icons in the irrigation industry.  He became a Licensed Irrigator, an Exmark Sales Professional, and a Factory Lighting Professional.  He worked his way up to become Sales Manager and a leader for our company.  Jeromy now owns Watermaster and is guiding us with his strategic vision grounded by solid values.  Over the years, we have formed lasting relationships with qualified professionals and followed current trends to ensure we can offer you the best in the business.  Unlike the big box store, our knowledgeable staff will take time to help you do the job right.  No matter how you start, start with Watermaster.

West Texas has grown through their dedication and hard work.

Still going strong, they have strived to keep up with new technologies throughout the ever-developing irrigation industry. If there’s a better way to do something we probably came up with it. After all, no one knows water like we do. Along with technological trends, we have to make sure to stay current with all the State regulations regarding the irrigation industry. Since 1985, our reach has expanded to cover the area within a 250-mile radius of Lubbock. We couldn’t go too far away from our roots.
