In 1914, the Heek waterworks with 5 wells (depth 12 m) and the DN 175 GG drinking water pipeline to Ahaus were built. The water tower was built in 1915 with a 250 cbm version in Ahaus. The start of drinking water supply for the city of Ahaus from the Heek waterworks began on October 1, 1915. In 1932, an unlimited water right over 365,000 m³ / a was granted in the Heek waterworks. Josef Wilkes became the first director in 1945. In 1959 a plot of land was purchased in Ahaus-Ortwick to build the Ortwick waterworks. A year later, Ahaus and the district of Wüllen were supplied by the Ortwick waterworks, followed by the districts of Wessum and Ottenstein in 1961 with the water supply. In 1965 the city of Ahaus had 50 years of supply operations and from 1972 the Stadtwerke Ahaus was owned by the city of Ahaus. The company was founded in 1976. The municipality of Heek was included in the drinking water supply in 1978 through a water supply contract.
