Growth Strategy

United Water's strategic plan targets growth of its core water and wastewater businesses through public-private partnerships with municipalities, strategic alliances, contract services, acquisitions, investments and expansion of its existing service territories. The company launched an aggressive growth program in 1994 when GWC Corporation was merged into United Water. The merger doubled United Water's size to form the country's second largest investor-owned water services company. The company's growth plan focuses on public-private partnerships and contract services with municipalities that wish to outsource management of their water and wastewater systems.


Business Segments: Today & Tomorrow

If you were to purchase a share of United Water stock today, you would be investing in three distinct business segments: regulated water and wastewater utilities, non-regulated water and wastewater services (primarily public-private partnerships or full service operations and maintenance contracts with municipalities), and real estate operations. During the next five years United Water anticipates that equity investment in non-regulated water services will represent an increasing proportion of the company's total investment.
