Is Your Texas Water Utility Struggling With Regulatory Hurdles, Water Scarcity, Rising Costs, and Aging Infrastructure?

Seven Seas is the solution for Texas utilities facing water challenges

The obstacles that often confront Texas water utility companies can hinder growth, strain budgets, and harm communities.

Seven Seas Water Group has developed a comprehensive solution called Water-as-a-Service® (WaaS®) that can help you overcome these challenges. From financing and design to construction and long-term operation and maintenance, our approach streamlines the entire water infrastructure process.

How does WaaS® work?

For over two decades, WaaS® has brought all aspects of projects — financing, design, engineering, construction, and long-term O&M packages — under one roof to streamline projects from start to finish. We take care of everything, so you can focus on what matters most.

We can acquire and upgrade an existing plant or build an entirely new plant. Our water professionals have designed and built over 1,000 desalination facilities, and we currently operate more than 200 plants. Thanks to our full integration with EQT, a purpose-driven global investment organization, we are moving financial mountains with build-own-operate (BOO) agreements, build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) agreements, and plant acquisitions.

We can help you significantly reduce or even eliminate upfront capital expenses. Through performance-based agreements that tie infrastructure delivery to long-term operation and management, you’ll only need to budget for a predictable water bill. Seven Seas handles everything else.

Water-as-a-Service® in the Texas Region

Alice, Texas

Many Texas utilities are located near vast reserves of brackish water, but have been unable to utilize them due to insufficient funding for large-scale brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) desalination facilities.

Seven Seas makes it possible. To tap its brackish aquifer, the City of Alice needed millions of dollars for a BWRO desalination project. The project was at a standstill until Seven Seas stepped in, completing it without requiring a major upfront capital investment from the city. Under the Water-as-a-Service® arrangement, Seven Seas also took on all long-term O&M to deliver a guaranteed 2.7 million gallons of potable water of guaranteed quality per day.

Does this no-up-front-cost model mean higher back-end costs for the City of Alice? Not with WaaS®. Seven Seas not only delivered the project with virtually no CAPEX, but it also lowered the water price. This means the city avoids decades of loan repayments and has no O&M responsibilities – just a dependable water supply and reliably lower water bills.

“This project signifies a tremendous leap forward for our community and underscores our commitment to ensuring reliable and safe water security for all of our residents.”

South Texas Water Utility

The South Texas Water Utility in Kingsville faced a challenge: how to meet growing demand for potable water in the rapidly growing counties of Kleberg and Nueces. Traditional sources of water were becoming strained, and the utility needed a long-term solution. Applying the Water-as-a-Service® model, Seven Seas will construct a scalable plant capable of producing at least 2.7 million gallons per day of potable water by filtering abundant brackish water reserves. This flexible design will allow the plant to continuously meet the growing needs of both residential communities and an expanding business sector.

“This plant is essential for the sustainable growth of Kleberg and Nueces Counties. A reliable water supply ensures independence and stability, which are key factors in attracting new businesses and supporting the community.”
-- Rudy Madrid, County Judge, Kleberg County
