Benefits of Working with Aqua

Most Americans have utility services, including gas and electricity, provided by an investor-owned company. Water and wastewater service, however, is typically supplied by municipal or authority-owned systems.

Many municipalities struggle to balance budgets that include a long list of priorities, from water and wastewater infrastructure needs, to schools, police and fire departments, roadways and bridges. For municipalities or authorities, Aqua Ohio can be a partner by integrating water or wastewater systems into Aqua’s existing operations. This gives the municipality an influx of cash to put toward other priorities and alleviates the burden of maintaining their own water and wastewater systems.

Municipal Fair Market Value Legislation in Ohio

In 2019, Ohio enacted legislation to help municipalities receive market-based values for their water and wastewater systems if they choose to sell their systems to a regulated utility. That increase can be converted into much-needed revenue for community priorities. Ohio’s new municipal fair market value (MFMV) makes working with Aqua more attractive than ever.
