In brief

What this company does

GWRI is a water resource management company that owns, operates, and manages thirty-nine water, wastewater, and recycled water public utility systems in strategically located communities, principally in metropolitan Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. Serving more than 121,000 people in approximately 40,000 homes within the Company's 418 square miles of ACC-designated service areas as of December 31, 2025, the Company provides water and wastewater utility service under the regulatory authority of the ACC. As of December 31, 2025, we employed 126 full-time individuals and 3 part-time employees. Global Water Resources, LLC (“GWR”) was organized in 2003 to acquire, own, and manage a portfolio of water and wastewater utilities in the southwestern region of the United States (“U.S.”). In early 2010, the members of GWR made the decision to raise money through the capital markets, and GWR and GWM were reorganized to form Global Water Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Written from the business description in Global Water Resources, Inc.'s annual report to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, filed 4 March 2026. Every sentence was checked against that document before publication.
