Shaped by a growing demand for water & wastewater infrastructure investment and an increasingly favorable policy landscape, private participation among U.S. utilities is on the rise. Bluefield's water experts discuss their recent analysis of investor-owned utilities' strategies, highlighting M&A trends and how companies—from American Water to private equity-backed firms—are approaching the water market.

Reese Tisdale is joined by Bluefield water experts Isabel Kezman and Charlie Suse.
