Funding isn't keeping pace. Budgets are tight and investment keeps getting deferred.What Waterworth Does
Builds balanced funding strategies across reserves, debt, grants, and rates.Why it Matters
A sustainable path forward, not just next year's budget.Current Reality
Rates are becoming unaffordable and the basis for increases is hard to explain.What Waterworth Does
Rate design and cost of service analysis that balances affordability with revenue requirements.Why it Matters
Every rate decision has a clear rationale stakeholders can see and support.Current Reality
Stakeholders arrive at decisions with different information and different assumptions.What Waterworth Does
One interactive, visual model everyone works from.Why it Matters
Alignment happens in the room, not after months of back-and-forth.WHO IT'S FOR
For municipal financial leaders
Directors of Public Works
THE REALITY
Infrastructure needs compete for funding without clear financial framing. You know what's failing. Making the financial case is the hard part.
WHAT CHANGES
Infrastructure investment tied directly to financial forecasts and funding scenarios. The case for capital needs becomes visible to everyone who approves funding. Grant and debt applications backed by the same model.
Finance Directors
THE REALITY
Models are time consuming to maintain, fix, and create visuals out of. Rate studies quickly go out of date.
WHAT CHANGES
Live models you control with the help of Waterworth's Client Success team. Update assumptions in real time. Present scenarios stakeholders can actually follow.
Elected Officials
THE REALITY
Financial proposals arrive as dense tables. The basis for rate and funding recommendations isn't always visible. Voting with confidence is difficult when you can't see the full picture.
WHAT CHANGES
Visual, interactive views of your financial position and the options available. See the tradeoffs between affordability, infrastructure investment, and long-term sustainability. Vote knowing the complete picture. Check back as conditions change. Share the basis for decisions publicly with confidence.
