Arizona Challenges, Solved
Arizona faces unique pressures — from aquifer depletion to rapid suburban growth — that demand faster, more flexible solutions. Seven Seas addresses these challenges directly:
- Rapid Growth: Modular plants expand in phases to keep pace with demand in Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima counties, serving subdivisions, industrial sites, and municipalities.
- Aquifer Depletion & Imported Water Costs: Advanced reverse osmosis systems turn brackish groundwater into drinking water, while decentralized reuse keeps water in circulation.
- Emerging Contaminants: PFAS, arsenic, and other pollutants are addressed with advanced monitoring and treatment integrated into every project.
- Regulatory Compliance: Every system is engineered to meet ADEQ and EPA standards, protecting public health and ensuring long-term reliability.
- Resilience & Scalability: Solutions are designed to withstand drought pressures and scale dynamically with community growth.

Compliance and Sustainability
In Arizona, compliance with ADEQ standards is not optional. Seven Seas plants are engineered to comply from the start. Our contracts build in ongoing monitoring and reporting, so utilities stay aligned with ADEQ as well as federal requirements.
Our approach emphasizes long-term sustainability. Decentralized plants reduce reliance on shrinking aquifers and cut the need for long pipelines, which often cost more than the plants themselves. By keeping treatment close to where water is used, communities slash construction costs, lower energy demand, reduce losses from leaks, and minimize the environmental footprint of distribution.
Every project is structured to transfer operational risk to Seven Seas, with performance guarantees built in. The result is infrastructure that not only meets today’s standards but is resilient against tomorrow’s.

Seven Seas Strategies in the Real World
Across the country, utilities are turning to new models to stretch limited water resources and budgets while speeding up delivery. One pertinent case study comes from Alice, Texas, where Seven Seas delivered a brackish groundwater desalination plant under a Water-as-a-Service® agreement, giving the community a steady source of raw water. By combining local commitment with Seven Seas’ expertise and financing, Alice lowered water prices upfront and guaranteed lower rates long term without any upfront capital burden.
The same approach can be useful in Arizona, where brackish groundwater desalination can offset the decline in freshwater aquifers and provide resilience against drought.
Seven Seas, backed by EQT, a purpose-driven global investment organization, stands behind every project with proven performance and long-term accountability, giving communities confidence that solutions will work not just at startup, but for decades to come.

Arizona Water and Wastewater Solutions FAQ
What's the difference between the Lease Program and WaaS®?
Both options speed delivery and remove upfront capital costs — the difference is in how operations are handled:
- Lease Plant Program: Seven Seas provides the plant, but you keep flexibility on operations. Run it yourself, use your preferred operator, or bring us in later for O&M.
- Water-as-a-Service® (WaaS®): A full partnership. Seven Seas builds, owns, operates, and maintains the plant long-term — with performance guaranteed.
Can Seven Seas take over or upgrade an existing Arizona treatment plant?
Yes. Seven Seas can acquire existing water and wastewater treatment facilities. We upgrade them to improve efficiency and reliability and operate them under long-term, performance-based WaaS® contracts.
What contaminants can your treatment remove?
Seven Seas plants can be engineered to remove:
- PFAS
- Arsenic
- nutrients (such as nitrogen and phosphorus)
- pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors
- pathogens – and more
Advanced membrane-based treatment and continuous monitoring ensure compliance certainty, even as new challenges emerge in Arizona.
How do you ensure sustainability and avoid overpumping groundwater?
Seven Seas emphasizes decentralized solutions that maximize local reuse and reduce drawdown pressure on aquifers. Every project begins with a thorough hydrogeological study to evaluate recharge rates, aquifer health, and long-term sustainability. By siting treatment close to demand, we minimize pumping needs, protect groundwater reserves, and keep water circulating locally.
