“We’re honored to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our founding at the historic Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square,” stated Fleming. “We’ve made tremendous progress as a Nasdaq-listed company fulfilling our mission of consolidating water and wastewater utilities in a manner that allows our communities to realize the benefit of consolidation, regionalization, and environmental stewardship in the face of water scarcity. Now in our 8th year of trading on Nasdaq, we’re excited to say the best is yet to come!”
The company has also grown significantly over this period, due to organic growth within its fast-growing communities, and through an active M&A program that has been expanding the company’s portfolio of utilities in major metro growth corridors around Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. Since 2017, the company has acquired and integrated 12 utilities, bringing its total owned and operated utilities to 29 across the state’s three largest counties: Maricopa, Pima and Pinal. Global Water’s total active residential, commercial and industrial connections recently reached more than 60,000, making it one of the largest integrated water and wastewater service providers in the state.
Global Water’s unique TWM approach helps to preserve precious groundwater resources and supports long-term water supply planning. This approach helps maximize water resources to support Arizona’s 100-year assured water supply requirement for new housing subdivisions.
TWM is an integrated approach to managing the entire water cycle that involves owning and operating water, wastewater and recycled water utilities within the same geographic area in order to maximize the beneficial use of recycled water. TWM enables smart water management programs, such as remote metering infrastructure and other advanced technologies, rate designs, and incentives that result in real conservation.
Global Water recycles over 1 billion gallons of water annually with a total of more than 15.5 billion gallons recycled since 2004. The company’s extensive ‘purple pipe’ program preserves precious drinking water by enabling recycled wastewater to be used in public common areas.
Since 2016, Global Water has been publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Markets and it has shared its success with its shareholders with a significant monthly dividend. The company recently announced its first annual environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and sustainability report that highlights its leadership in TWM.
