GWRS

Global Water Resources, Inc. operates as a pure-play water resource management company focused on owning, operating, and managing water, wastewater, and recycled water utilities. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, the company primarily serves communities in the metropolitan Phoenix area through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Water - Palo Verde Utilities Company. GWRS manages water and wastewater services for approximately 75,000 people across multiple utility systems, operating under certificates of convenience and necessity issued by the Arizona Corporation Commission. The company distinguishes itself through its integrated approach to water management, which includes potable water production and distribution, wastewater collection and treatment, and non-potable water recycling and distribution systems. GWRS operates several water reclamation facilities that treat wastewater and convert it into recycled water for irrigation and industrial uses, supporting water conservation in the arid Southwest. The company generates revenue primarily through monthly utility service fees charged to residential, commercial, and municipal customers. As a regulated utility, GWRS's rates and operations are overseen by state regulatory authorities. The company has pursued strategic growth through acquisitions of smaller water utilities and development of infrastructure in growing Phoenix-area communities, positioning itself to benefit from ongoing population growth in its service territory while addressing regional water scarcity challenges.
