We want to congratulate Hamm Hardware & Building Supplies on its 100th year celebration. Serving the community for a century is a mark few businesses ever see.

In 1926, a small family business opened its doors with a simple mission: serve the community well and do things the right way.

One hundred years later, that mission hasn’t changed.

Hamm Hardware & Building Supplies is proud to celebrate 100 years of family ownership, hard work, and loyal customers who made it possible.

Thank you for trusting us, generation after generation.

We maintain 142 miles of water main, 3 elevated storage tanks, 1 ground storage tank and 1 water treatment facility serving our community.

Taking good care of that infrastructure and continuing to invest in improvements helps keep water service dependable today and in the future.
