NW Natural Water Continues Growth in Washington with Two More Acquisitions

NW Natural Water Company, LLC (NW Natural Water), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northwest Natural Holding Company (NYSE:NWN) (NW Natural Holdings), recently signed two agreements to acquire Northwest Water Services and Aquarius Utilities, collectively serving approximately 1,400 connections in Washington near its existing Cascadia Water utilities.

“Since our initial investments in 2018, we’ve consistently expanded Cascadia Water’s footprint, improved its systems, and significantly enhanced the overall service to customers,” said Justin Palfreyman, NW Natural Water’s president. “We’re excited to continue our expansion in the Puget Sound region and look forward to welcoming these new customers and continuing to deliver clean, safe and reliable service.”

The acquisitions are subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, and are expected to close in 2022. When all pending acquisitions close, NW Natural Water will serve nearly 150,000 people through approximately 61,000 connections across five states.
