Water-En Energiebedrijf Aruba (WEB) and Seven Seas Water Group (SSWG) have jointly announced the signing of a 10-year Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) Agreement to construct a new seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant in Aruba.

The upcoming plant, which will provide a minimum of 16,500 cubic meters of potable water daily, is integral to WEB's enduring strategy and the Water Roadmap aimed at addressing sustained water requirements. It will replace an interim water production facility. Following a competitive tender process initiated in 2023, SSWG secured the contract. The new water plant will be situated within WEB's current infrastructure and is slated to become operational by mid-2026.

Headquartered in Tampa, with operations across the U.S., Caribbean, and Latin America, SSWG delivers annually over 20 billion gallons of water to industrial, commercial, governmental, municipal, and hospitality customers. SSWG designs builds, owns and operates, delivers new facilities, or acquires and upgrades existing facilities, to optimize project risk transfer between the public and private sectors. 

WEB has been producing water for the island of Aruba since 1932 and began producing energy for the island in 1958. The drinking water produced at WEB Aruba is pumped to 7 water storage tanks on its premises.
