Our Water-as-a-Service® offering assumes project risks, producing water at a guaranteed quantity and quality
Seven Seas Water Group understands that establishing, maintaining, and operating water infrastructure can present endless challenges.
We eliminate those challenges.
Municipalities no longer need to seek full project capital, which can be a stumbling block in today’s credit and bond markets. Our Water-as-a-Service® (WaaS®) delivers the new and/or upgraded water infrastructure your service area needs by providing the necessary capital under a public-private partnership (P3) contract. And, our services are backed by the strength of Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners.
Seven Seas’ WaaS® delivers water services at a guaranteed cost and quality. That’s it. The project risk is transferred to Seven Seas Water Group, and our design and operations ensure low life-cycle costs that are stable and predictable.
Building water infrastructure from the ground up traditionally involves multiple contractors, consultants, bids, and negotiations, as well as workforce management. There also are short- and long-term operations and maintenance needs, like keeping a parts inventory, and developing policies and procedures. There’s no shortage of complications that can burden a municipality.
In contrast, WaaS® is an all-inclusive model handled by specialized professionals, streamlining projects from conception to commissioning. With WaaS®, Seven Seas can also buy failing infrastructure, upgrade, and operate it for your service area.
Benefits of Water-as-a-Service®
Letting professionals handle water and wastewater treatment comes with a wide range of benefits. Seven Seas Water Group will take care of:
- Building or upgrading facilities.
- Guaranteeing water supply.
- Treating wastewater to spec.
- Improving reliability and simplifying operations.
Seven Seas takes care of business with no operating fees or hidden costs, and no upfront capital.
Quality Equipment Backed by Exceptional Talent
Our operations team has run more than 100 desalination and wastewater treatment plants. Because we build, own, and operate so many plants, we’ve developed a practical expertise that guarantees quality, with the most durable equipment in the business.
Our clients typically extend contracts long after the initial term, so we build our equipment for a continuing relationship, not a cutoff date.
WaaS® in Action in Alice, Texas
Experiencing repeated drought periods, the city of Alice, Texas, was facing a requirement to finance a project to desalinate brackish groundwater. The city was already paying a high price to pipe in raw water from 20 miles away.
A P3 arrangement through WaaS®, however, married the State Revolving Fund (SRF) with Seven Seas capital, reducing the proposed SRF loan by $12 million. The WaaS® contract will reduce per-unit water rates when the plant is completed and operating. It also will free the city from continuing O&M requirements.
The plant in Alice is typical of the kind of win-win that can be achieved with the P3 structure, which puts critical water infrastructure delivery in the hands of professionals and removes burdens from municipalities.
I’m honored to have worked with Seven Seas over the past several years. Their innovative water solutions are critical for our present and future needs. We are truly blessed to have them in our community.
Texas Representative J.M. Lozano, HD 43.
