Industrial Water & Wastewater Infrastructure Through iWaaS™
Water is becoming a board-level constraint on industrial growth. Seven Seas designs, builds, owns, and operates your water and wastewater systems under a long-term Industrial Water-as-a-Service (iWaaS™) contract — taking the capital, the risk, and the compliance burden off your books. Explore the WaaS® ModelTalk to Our TeamYou run your business.
We run your water.
For most manufacturers, water is a cost center that keeps demanding capital, staff, and attention it was never supposed to need. Seven Seas takes that entire problem off your plate — financing, owning, and operating the water and wastewater systems your production depends on.
Unlike a traditional EPC firm, we don’t hand you the keys and leave. Seven Seas owns the asset and stays accountable for its operation, compliance, and performance for the life of the contract.
Industrial Water-as-a-Service (iWaaS™) is Seven Seas’ application of its proven Water-as-a-Service® model for manufacturers, mining operations, food and beverage producers, data centers, pharmaceutical facilities, and other industrial operations.
Why Industrial Manufacturers Are Rethinking Water
Water has become a business risk
Corporate water disclosures now report $77 billion in financial exposure tied to water supply risk across 623 companies. Water has shifted from a facilities issue to a board-level business risk — with SEC, CDP, and climate disclosure requirements putting executive names next to it. Once water risk appears in a 10-K or CDP submission, the question is no longer whether to act, but how quickly. CFOs and sustainability leaders need measurable, auditable performance behind their commitments.
On-site plants are reaching end of life.
More than 36,000 U.S. food processing plants were built in the mid-20th century, and healthcare central utility plants are routinely 30 years old or more. Pharmaceutical capacity has grown 48% since 2020 against a base of aging facilities. Across industries, major reinvestment decisions are coming due — and competing directly with growth initiatives and other capital priorities.
The capital structure of utilities is changing.
Ohio State’s $1.165 billion, 50-year energy P3 proved that critical infrastructure can be delivered through long-term service agreements. Industrial organizations are now applying the same logic to water: finance, operate, and modernize critical assets without owning them. Global market research firms tracking the Water-as-a-Service® space place Seven Seas on the worldwide leaderboard alongside the largest water utilities.
Industrial Water-as-a-Service (iWaaS™) at Scale
For more than 25 years, Seven Seas has delivered water and wastewater infrastructure as a contracted service rather than a one-time construction project. We design, build, own, and operate — whether your facility needs a new system from the ground up, an aging plant acquired and upgraded, or a behind-the-fence solution financed without touching your capital budget.
Every WaaS® contract generates metered, auditable performance data: water reduction volumes, reuse percentages, energy intensity, and discharge compliance records. That’s the difference between a CDP response built on aspirational commitments and one backed by contracted, verifiable outcomes.
What an iWaaS™ Contract Delivers
Preservation of Capital for Core Operations
Your capital goes to production capacity, not pipe and concrete.
Operational Continuity
Staffing, maintenance, and upsets are our problem, contractually.
Simplified Compliance Management
When regulators ask, the records are ready.
Support for Sustainability and Reporting Goals
— metered, auditable, and contracted rather than estimated.
Future-Proofing
Upgrades happen inside the contract, not as capital surprises.
You run the operation.
We run the water and wastewater.
If your water or wastewater infrastructure is aging, nearing capacity, facing regulatory pressure, or competing with other capital priorities, Seven Seas can help evaluate alternative approaches that reduce risk and support long-term growth.
High-strength wastewater. Brand-level ESG commitments. Aging plant footprint.
Your wastewater is what regulators look at first. Your sustainability commitments are what the board looks at next. We own and operate the water and wastewater system while you run the line. WaaS® delivers NPDES compliance, water reuse, and a contracted performance record your CDP submission can stand behind.
USP-grade process water. Validated wastewater. Capacity under pressure.
Pharmaceutical sites need process water that meets USP and WFI specifications, wastewater systems that hold up in regulatory inspections, and the operational certainty that a manufacturing build-out demands. We deliver all three under one contract — without a capital line on your project budget.
Aging central utility plants. Legionella compliance. Limited capital budgets.
Hospital and health system campuses are running central utility infrastructure that competes directly with clinical capital for reinvestment. We convert that deferred-maintenance liability into a contracted operating expense, with water management programs and Legionella risk mitigation built into the agreement.
Mandatory water cuts. PFAS pressure. Aging treatment behind the fence.
Water availability problems are active and tightening in key chemical manufacturing corridors. If your intake assumptions no longer hold or your on-site treatment is approaching the end of its life, WaaS® provides a behind-the-fence solution — financed, operated, and compliant — without diverting capital from core production.
Process water reliability. Produced water management. Behind-the-fence operations.
Refinery and petrochemical operations require consistent, high-quality process water and dependable management of complex wastewater streams. We own and operate behind-the-fence water and wastewater systems under long-term contracts, removing infrastructure risk from your operating model entirely.
Cooling water at scale. Drought-resistant supply. Reduced dependence on municipal water supplies.
AI and hyperscale data center campuses require massive, reliable water supplies for computer and generator cooling. We co-develop water infrastructure from the earliest planning stages, sourcing from brackish groundwater, treating to exact end-use specifications, and delivering under a long-term WaaS® contract at zero upfront capital cost.
Remote operations. Process water reliability. Environmental compliance.
Mining and metals facilities in water-stressed regions face acute supply risk and complex environmental discharge obligations. We design, acquire, and operate water systems in demanding environments, backed by a track record of 100% contractual compliance in active mining operations.
Aging central utility infrastructure. Water-stressed campuses. Capital competing with core operations.
Universities in water-stressed regions, major airports, and government campuses face the same infrastructure reinvestment pressure and water supply constraints as industrial operators. WaaS® converts aging central utility infrastructure into a contracted operating expense, with water reduction, reuse, and compliance performance built into the agreement and reportable against sustainability commitments.
Proven Across Refineries, Mining, and Manufacturing Worldwide
From a Caribbean refinery restored to full operations to the largest reverse osmosis facility in Peru, Seven Seas takes on the water systems other providers walk away from.
Water Treatment for Limetree Bay Refinery
U.S. Virgin Islands: An industrial process water plant was restored to full operations under a WaaS® contract.
Water Supply for Phosphate Mine
Peru: The largest reverse osmosis facility in Peru was acquired mid-contract, rebuilt to standard, and is operating at 100% contractual compliance since its acquisition.
