H2O America to buy Quadvest water assets for $540 million in Texas deal
H2O America and its subsidiaries agreed on July 7, 2025, to acquire substantially all assets of Quadvest, a Houston-area water and wastewater utility, for a combined $540 million across two linked asset purchase agreements. The deal is expected to close by mid-2026, subject to Texas Public Utility Commission and antitrust approvals, and the company says it expects the combination to be accretive to its long-term EPS growth rate.
Key points
- Regulated business base price $483.6 million; wholesale business base price $56.4 million, both subject to capital expenditure adjustments
- Neither transaction closes unless both close concurrently; closing requires Texas Public Utility Commission approval and Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period expiration
- Transaction to be financed by privately placed debt and equity infusions from H2O America; the filing states it is not subject to a financing condition
- Filing sets a $21 million termination fee payable by TWC in specified court or regulatory-order circumstances; H2O America expects its five-year capital spending plan to rise to approximately $2.1 billion, an increase of 6%
