The drive for water and wastewater consolidation is on, with some states requiring municipalities to sell their water systems to meet their capital obligations. Public Private Partnerships (“PPP”) and acquisitions by infrastructure funds and other parties provide opportunities to inject much-needed capital resources into facilities for repairs, maintenance, and upgrades. Additionally, the Water Infrastructure Finance & Innovation Act (WIFIA) provides funding opportunities specifically tailored for smaller municipalities to address critical projects.
