Consolidated Water Wins $11.7 Million Contract to Build Wastewater Recycling Plant for San Francisco Bay Area Golf Club

Rhea-AI Summary

Consolidated Water (NASDAQ: CWCO) was awarded an $11.7 million contract to build a wastewater recycling plant for a San Francisco Bay Area golf club. The facility will have a 200,000 gallons-per-day treatment capacity and 600,000 gallons of treated-water storage, and will treat diverted sewer flow using membrane bioreactor technology for irrigation-grade recycled water.

Value-engineering measures—precast concrete basins and prefabricated equipment buildings—are expected to reduce construction costs and speed delivery. The project is managed by PERC Water Corporation, designed by PACE Advanced Water Engineering, and is expected to be commissioned and operational by January 2027. The company said this award completes three 2025 design/build wins totaling over $20 million. The plant is projected to save 36–38 million gallons of potable water annually by replacing irrigation demand with recycled water.

Infrastructure Contract Analyst

Consolidated Water won an $11.7M contract to build a 200,000 gpd wastewater recycling plant; project adds near‑term backlog and a Jan 2027 commissioning target.

Consolidated Water secures a commercial contract through its California unit, PERC Water Corporation, for $11.7 million to design and build a 200,000 gallons‑per‑day treatment plant with 600,000 gallons storage using membrane bioreactor technology. The scope includes value engineering (precast basins, prefabricated buildings) intended to cut costs and speed schedule, and the work follows two earlier 2025 projects that together exceed $20 million.

The business mechanism is straightforward: awarded engineering, procurement and construction work converts into near‑term revenue and backlog, with commissioning expected by January 2027. Key dependencies are contract execution without change orders, permitting and site access, and the supplier/installation cadence for prefabricated elements; each could affect margin or schedule. Monitor progress against procurement milestones and any disclosed change‑order activity over the next 12–18 months, and watch commissioning milestones toward 2027 for realization of revenue and stated potable water savings of 36–38 million gallons annually.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, Nov. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ Global Select Market: CWCO), a leading designer, builder and operator of advanced water supply and treatment plants, has been awarded a contract valued at $11.7 million to construct a wastewater recycling plant with 200,000 gallons-per-day capacity and 600,000 gallons of treated water storage for a San Francisco Bay Area golf club.

The contract was secured by the company’s California-based subsidiary, PERC Water Corporation, which develops, designs, builds, operates, and manages water infrastructure facilities in the Southwestern U.S. The plant will receive untreated wastewater diverted from a nearby sewer and will treat the wastewater using membrane bioreactor technology—a process that combines biological wastewater treatment with advanced filtration, resulting in high-quality recycled water suitable for irrigation. The innovative design incorporates key value-engineering features, most notably the substitution of precast concrete basins instead of cast-in-place concrete construction, as well as the use of prefabricated equipment buildings and platforms. These measures reduced construction costs and are expected to accelerate the overall project schedule.

By recycling wastewater for non-potable uses, the plant is expected to save 36 - 38 million gallons of potable water annually, reducing reliance on local freshwater resources. The project was designed by PACE Advanced Water Engineering, an engineering firm that has worked with PERC for over 25 years on numerous other projects.

Consolidated Water CEO, Rick McTaggart, commented: “This contract is the last of three design and/or build projects totaling more than $20 million that we expected to obtain in 2025 and mentioned in our investor calls earlier this year. Our competitive pricing, extensive permitting experience in California, and a fast-tracked construction schedule enabled us to offer a package that exceeded our customer’s expectations. The project is underway and is expected to be fully commissioned and operational by January 2027.”
