"United Water provides water and wastewater services to 11 million people in the United States. In addition to owning and operating utilities, United Water operates municipal systems through public-private partnerships and contract agreements. Four of the nation's largest water and wastewater contracts are operated by United Water."
"Founded as Hackensack Water Company in 1869, United Water became the nation's second largest investor-owned water services company following a merger with GWC Corporation in 1994. At the same time, we gained a strategic alliance with Suez Lyonnaise Des Eaux which became a principal shareholder. During the next five years we worked together to pursue growth markets in North America. On July 27, 2000 United Water Resources became a wholly owned subsidiary of Suez Lyonnaise Des Eaux, an international leader in water and wastewater services."
"In March 2001, our parent company changed its name to Suez. United Water is a key player in the Suez enviroment division which serves 125 million people around the world." (via
