Revenue model

1. Asset Management Program (AMP™) Contracts: Long-term subscription-based asset management contracts for water tanks, treatment plants, pipe networks, and metering systems. Customers pay a pre-determined fixed annual or multi-year fee that covers initial rehabilitation, ongoing maintenance, inspections, and future refurbishment. Provides cost certainty, transfers maintenance risk to USG, and enables easy budgeting.
2. Project-Based Services: One-time and project-based services including tank condition assessments, cleanings, repairs, rehabilitation, concrete coating, pipe relining, AMI installation, and water quality technology installations. Customers pay per project or per service event.
3. Metering Asset Management Program: AMI system deployment and management where USG provides and implements an AMI system and smart meter services, integrating them into existing water distribution infrastructure. Costs can be spread over many years with a predictable monthly or annual fee per meter.
4. Pipe Rehabilitation Services: Trenchless pipe rehabilitation using SIPP technology, typically billed per project based on pipe length, diameter, and condition. SIPP technology can yield approximately 40% cost savings compared to direct pipe replacement.
5. Communications Site Management: Tank owner revenue opportunity management where USG markets water tanks to wireless communications companies for co-location. USG retains a portion of site fee revenue, with no sign-up or up-front costs for the tank owner, and only earns revenue after site fee payments commence.

Broad incumbents

• Veolia Water Technologies & Solutions: Global water treatment technology and services arm of Veolia, USG's former parent (carved out in 2023). Offers a broad portfolio of treatment chemicals, equipment, and digital services to municipal and industrial water customers, overlapping directly with USG's treatment plant rehabilitation and water quality service lines.
• Suez Water Advanced Solutions: Water and wastewater services division of Suez, another global incumbent. Provides asset management, treatment, and digital water solutions to municipal and industrial customers; comparable to USG in target customers and bundled service delivery model, though at much larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Xylem Inc. Global water technology company owning brands such as Pure Technologies, Sensus, and Idex-inspired metering lines. Competes with USG in AMI smart metering (Sensus), pipeline condition assessment (Pure Technologies), and water quality instrumentation, making it a broad incumbent in several of USG's core service categories.
• Mueller Water Products: Manufacturer of water infrastructure products including hydrants, valves, and pipe repair/rehabilitation solutions used by municipal water utilities. Direct overlap with USG's pipe rehabilitation and water distribution maintenance services, though Mueller is primarily a product manufacturer rather than a turnkey service provider.
• Itron, Inc. Leading provider of smart metering, AMI networks, and data analytics for water, gas, and electric utilities. Direct overlap with USG's AMI smart metering and managed services offering, though Itron primarily sells technology platforms while USG bundles deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle maintenance.
• Badger Meter, Inc. Manufacturer of flow measurement and smart water metering solutions serving municipal and industrial water customers. Comparable to USG on the AMI/metering side, but Badger Meter is a hardware and software vendor whereas USG delivers the surrounding installation, monitoring, and managed service layer.
• Black & Veatch: Global engineering, procurement, and construction firm with a major water practice serving municipal utilities on treatment plant design, pipeline construction, and asset management programs. Comparable to USG in serving the same municipal water customers with engineering-led infrastructure solutions at significantly larger scale.
• Carollo Engineers: U.S.-focused engineering firm specializing in water and wastewater treatment planning, design, and construction management for municipal utilities. Overlaps with USG's treatment plant and pipeline rehabilitation practice from an engineering and program management perspective, though without USG's long-term outsourced maintenance and subscription contract model.

Direct peers

• Pure Technologies (Xylem brand): Specializes in pipeline condition assessment and leak detection for water and wastewater mains using acoustic, electromagnetic, and visual technologies. Highly comparable to USG's machine learning-based Pipe Asset Management Program and acoustic pipe condition assessment offering for proactive infrastructure risk management.
• Severn Trent Services: Operating services arm of Severn Trent providing water and wastewater treatment operations, maintenance, and asset management to municipal clients in the U.S. and abroad. Closely parallels USG's bundled AMP™ model of long-term outsourced operations and maintenance contracts for utility infrastructure.
