Only 60% of water utilities are confident they can serve large industrial customers

Only 60% of water utilities are confident they can serve large industrial customers

Black & Veatch's 2026 Water Report finds confidence in serving large industrial customers fell to 60% from 73% in 2024. Survey respondents ranked funding and availability of capital ahead of expanding regulation, and 45% say funding will be insufficient to meet capital needs in the next five to 10 years. For industrial site planners, the figures are a reason to raise water availability earlier in site-selection discussions.

  • 01Utility confidence in serving large industrial customers fell from 73% in 2024 to 60% in 2026, according to Black & Veatch; for operators expanding in regions where supply is already tight, water availability should enter site-selection discussions as early as power.
  • 02Capital availability (31%) has moved ahead of regulation (19%) as the challenge utilities rank first, and 45% say funding won't cover capital needs over the next 5-10 years, a benchmark for anyone building a rate case or asset-renewal budget.
  • 0370% of survey respondents say they collect sufficient operational data but only 19% say they use it effectively, shifting the procurement question from more sensors to what a platform does with the data already flowing in.
