If your portfolio performed like the U.S. water system, you’d fire the manager. The average U.S. water main is nearly 50 years old. We leak over six billion gallons of clean water every single day. And the American Society of Civil Engineers gives our wastewater infrastructure a D+. When I was at Brown and McGill, a D+ meant you failed... And here’s the truth: The solution isn’t another trillion-dollar infrastructure bill. It’s not more tax dollars poured into the same broken system. We fix this by unburdening it. That’s what we’re doing at ValueStream Capital. We help industries treat their own water on-site while recovering clean water, materials, and value right at the source. Instead of one overloaded system failing everyone, we are on a mission to deploy a hundred local ones that work. Because if you wouldn’t accept a D+ in your portfolio, or in university, why should we accept it for our wastewater infrastructure?

The combination will allow continued infrastructure investment, the companies said, and reinforce American Water's position as the country's "top regulated water utility," according to Reuters. The deal is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027.
