In a news just released last week H2O Innovation Inc.‘s (TSXV: HEO | OTCQX: HEOFF) (‘H2O Innovation’) subsidiary, Utility Partners, was awarded a new 3 year operation and maintenance (‘O&M’) contract in Florida and a 1 year renewal of an existing contract in New York State. Equally as significant is that these contracts, with a total value of C$5.1m, bring the O&M backlog to C$84.9m. That’s a rather impressive sign of demand, especially relative to the size of H2O Innovation, which achieved C$133.6 million in FY 2020 revenue.
Utility Partners is US-based and specializes in the operation of water and wastewater plants operating more than 200 utilities in two Canadian provinces and twelve US states, for all of its municipal customers. H2O Innovation acquired Utility Partners in 2016 for C$22.5m. Over the years H2O Innovation has delivered more than 15 membrane filtration projects to Florida, but this is the very first O&M contract. Utility Partners services include operations, maintenance, and management of public works, water, wastewater, and utility billing systems. On December 1, 2020, Utility Partners will change name to H2O Innovation. Although the name of the operator will change, the organization and staff will remain the same.
VP of Operations Bill Douglass said:
“We are very proud to have been awarded this major contract in Florida. In addition to entering a new territory, we will also be able to take advantage of cross-selling opportunities and synergies with the projects carried out in this State, by H2O Innovation, over the past few years.”
