Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (CWCO) is a utility company specializing in the production and distribution of potable water and wastewater treatment services across the Caribbean and the United States. The company utilizes seawater reverse osmosis technology to serve residential, commercial, and governmental clients through four primary segments: Retail, Bulk, Services, and Manufacturing.
