Water Technologies:

There are a multitude of questions about the economic outlook for the water sector. For a relatively static and stable industry, we are on the cusp of meaningful change. Water technologies are moving toward more intelligent Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to address legacy infrastructure issues. The breadth of global capital and infrastructure demands will continue to draw in new technologies, companies, and business models. Expectations from utility customers and companies are extremely high. The water sector can be characterized as a conservative industry, but the status quo is no longer sustainable for companies in this market. Innovation and improved integration of solutions are essential to foster the required changes in the market.

U.S. water utilities are struggling under growing capital expenditure (CAPEX) investment burdens coupled with a limited ability to recoup operating costs through revenues. Among the 50 largest cities in the U.S., water and sewer rates are growing by an average 7% per year, outpacing average income growth (5% per year) and inflation (2.5% per year). Rising costs and public pushback will drive utilities to move beyond traditional practices to keep pace. Philadelphia’s income-based water rates are a perfect example of this trend.
