SWWC Ni Acquisition

Elgin, SC September 14, 2020 – SouthWest Water Company (SouthWest Water) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, South Carolina Utility Systems, Inc. has acquired the South Carolina wastewater utility operations of Ni Pacolet Milliken Utilities (Ni) from Pacolet Milliken, LLC.

Ni owns regulated wastewater and water utility companies serving customers in South Carolina and Florida. Ni’s holdings include Palmetto Utilities, Palmetto Wastewater Reclamation, and Ni Florida. Final closing on Ni’s Florida business is anticipated to occur in early 2021.

“This acquisition expands our existing service territory in South Carolina and allows us to grow into Florida. We are excited to begin serving these communities,” said Rob MacLean, CEO of SouthWest Water Company. “SouthWest Water is committed to building positive relationships with our customers by providing access to safe and reliable water and wastewater services at reasonable rates and in a sustainable manner.”

“In SouthWest Water, we found a professional nationwide utility whose primary focus is water and wastewater infrastructure, which holds the same high standards that we have at Pacolet Milliken. SouthWest Water’s experience managing utilities will be of great benefit to the customers and the environment,” said William Crawford, CEO of Pacolet Milliken.

SouthWest Water is committed to investing in the systems and employees to ensure high-quality water and wastewater services are provided to Ni customers. Continuing the focus on its customers, SouthWest Water plans to maintain local offices. SouthWest Water’s President of Southeast Utilities has already relocated to Columbia, SC, to oversee the utilities.
