Exhibit 99.1
Consolidated Water Receives Limited Notice to Proceed on Hawaii Project and Awarded Record $10.1 Million Municipal Water Treatment Equipment Order in Florida
Limited Notice to Proceed authorizes approximately $6 million for procurement of long-lead equipment for Kalaeloa desalination facility
GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, July 22, 2026 -- Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ Global Select Market: CWCO), a leading designer, builder and operator of advanced water treatment plants, today announced important progress on its seawater desalination project in Kalaeloa, Hawaii and the receipt of purchase orders totaling approximately $10.1 million for municipal water treatment equipment in Florida.
The company recently received a Limited Notice to Proceed from its client, the Honolulu Board of Water Supply, authorizing the procurement of various long-lead equipment for the Kalaeloa seawater reverse osmosis desalination facility. The Limited Notice to Proceed releases approximately $6 million in project funds, enabling the company to procure critical long-lead equipment.
While the commencement date of construction has still not been established due to permitting delays that are outside the control of both Consolidated Water and the Board of Water Supply, the authorization of early procurement of long-lead equipment clearly demonstrates the Board of Water Supply’s continued commitment to mitigate the potential effect of these delays on the project schedule and position the facility to be completed as soon as practicable.
The Kalaeloa facility is being developed under Consolidated Water’s contract to design, build, operate and maintain a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant capable of producing 1.7 million gallons of potable water per day. Following commissioning, the company is contracted to operate and maintain the facility for 20 years, with two additional five-year extension options at the client’s discretion.
In a separate development, Consolidated Water recently received purchase orders from a municipality on Florida’s east coast to design, fabricate and deliver nanofiltration membrane water treatment equipment and horizontal cartridge filters valued at approximately $10.1 million.
These purchase orders represent the largest orders secured by the company to date for municipal membrane-based water treatment equipment and for its line of horizontal cartridge filters. Delivery of the equipment is scheduled for November 2027.
“These two developments represent important progress for our services and manufacturing businesses,” said Consolidated Water CEO Rick McTaggart. “The Limited Notice to Proceed reflects our Hawaii client’s continued commitment to advancing the Kalaeloa desalination facility while we manage permitting matters that are outside the control of both parties. Procuring long-lead equipment at this stage should help reduce potential scheduling pressure and enable the project to move forward more efficiently.”
“The $10.1 million in Florida purchase orders further demonstrate the strength and breadth of our manufacturing capabilities,” continued McTaggart. “Securing our largest municipal membrane equipment order and our largest horizontal cartridge filter order to date represents a significant achievement for this business. Together, these developments reinforce our ability to provide advanced water treatment solutions across multiple phases of the water infrastructure value chain, from specialized equipment manufacturing to the design, construction and long-term operation of major treatment facilities.”
