our story
Rooted
in Local
Aquaculture
Living Waters Aquatic Management was founded in 2011 by owner/operator Gerard Wellemeyer, who brought over a decade of experience in aquaculture to the business. His vision was clear: to provide exceptional aquatic maintenance services with a focus on customer relationships and quality results.
Despite launching during the challenging economic climate of the subprime mortgage crisis, Wellemeyer’s dedication and perseverance led to the company’s success. Through hard work, Living Waters has grown to manage hundreds of ponds and aquatic systems across Kansas, from Wichita to Salina, El Dorado, and beyond.
