Integrated Sustainability Water-as-a-Service

Acquire-Operate Partnerships connecting commercial drivers with water system performance obligations

Traditional delivery models can separate the parties responsible for designing, building, financing, and operating a water system. Over the life of an asset, those divisions can create gaps in accountability and incentives.

Water-as-a-Service creates a direct connection between our commercial returns and the performance of the infrastructure we deliver and operate. Depending on the project, the commercial structure can incorporate fixed and variable service payments, minimum performance requirements, availability commitments, and other mechanisms that align compensation with agreed outcomes.

Clients typically consider Water-as-a-Service when:

• System performance issues emerge without clear accountability across delivery, operation, and compliance teams.
• Lifecycle operating costs become difficult to predict under fragmented ownership and operating structures.
• Service expectations are not clearly translated into enforceable performance and contractual obligations.
• Regulatory accountability under third-party operating structures is inconsistently defined.
