Cities' drive to privatize water treatment may aid environmental businesses

Article Abstract:

The environmental services industry stands to reap enormous benefits from the privatization of wastewater treatment and drinking water supply systems in the country. Cities' water-related expenditures are expected to rise as they enter into deals with environmental services firms for equipment upgrades, new technologies and meeting increased water consumption. Analysts say deals on drinking water supply and wastewater treatment between businesses and municipalities generate $75 billion in revenues annually.
