Helping Communities
Municipal officials are facing increasingly complex and costly drinking water and wastewater regulations. Stringent government standards pose major financial and compliance challenges.
United Water provides flexible solutions through public-private partnerships and comprehensive asset management contracts. These partnerships enable municipalities to outsource the management and operation of their water or wastewater systems.
Communities retain ownership of their assets—and rate-setting authority—while gaining cost-effective professional management.
For example, we are proud of the value and commitment we have made to the Village of Hyannis in Massachusetts. United Water recently signed a contract to provide 2.7 million gallons of water a day to the Village's inhabitants.
We offer a full spectrum of asset management services including:
- Contract operations
- Operational assistance
- Infrastructure and tank management
- Customer service
- Billing and collections
- Long-term leases
- Asset acquisition
- Design and construction
To support your goals, we also bring expertise in:
- Performance and change management
- Finance and rate planning
- Capital planning and execution
- Employee transition programs
- Labor relations
As both an owner-operator and a contract operator, we bring to your community proven, world-class experience that can be tailored to your specific needs.
