Consolidated Water recently made headlines with its strategic acquisition of Ramey Environmental Compliance (REC) for $4.2 million in cash, expanding its footprint into Colorado. REC serves over 100 water and wastewater treatment customers, marking a significant growth opportunity for CWCO in water-stressed regions of the U.S.
On the financial front, Consolidated Water reported robust growth for Q3 2023 with revenue nearly doubling to $49.9 million, driven by increased tourist activity in Grand Cayman and significant progress in plant construction projects.
