Water & Sewer Utilities
Industry Description
The US commercial water and sewer utilities industry includes about 5,000 companies with combined annual revenue of $9 billion. Large companies include American Water Works, Aqua America, California Water Service, and the US subsidiaries of major global players, including United Water (a subsidiary of SUEZ Environnement) and Veolia Water North America (subsidiary of Veolia Environnement). The industry is fairly concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for 65 percent of industry revenue. The commercial industry is small compared to the water and sewer services operated by many regional and local governments in the US; government-owned water and sewer utility services earn about $80 billion annually.
