Water Utility Transformation, Bermuda

Integrated Water Resilience Planning

Client needs

Bermuda’s aging water and wastewater system struggled to deliver a reliable supply, especially in dry periods, and its incomplete wastewater treatment exposed locals and marine ecosystems to health risks. The Government wanted to assess the potential for a new water and wastewater utility to improve the quality, reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of water supply, wastewater collection, and treatment.

How Castalia helped

Developed the business case to centralize water, wastewater, and solid waste services to a single utility
Identified extension and rehabilitation projects for the utility
Developed a financial model to estimate costs and tariffs
Developed a climate resiliency strategy to reduce non-revenue water and reuse desalinated and wastewater
Developed a financing plan and a project structure

The outcome of our work

The Government included our recommendations in the Water and Wastewater Master Plan and is taking progressive action to implement the proposed extension and rehabilitation projects.
