OUR MISSIONS

PROMOTE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS

For a private water operators, a public-private partnership (PPP) defines a contractual arrangement between a public agency (federal, state or local) and a private sector entity for a water or wastewater related project or service. AquaFed aims to promote and encourage these partnerships to improve water and wastewater services.

CREATE A COLLABORATIVE WATER COMMUNITY

AquaFed is a platform for its members and partners to exchange, share, learn and collaborate to improve the water sector all together.

CONTRIBUTE TO THE
UNITED NATIONS' 2030 AGENDA FOR
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development seeks to end poverty and hunger, guarantee the human rights of all, achieve gender equality and ensure the lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources. AquaFed and its members help to contribute to these goals by working on assuring the access to safe water and sanitation in a sustainable way.

GUARANTEE THE HUMAN RIGHT TO SAFE WATER AND SANITATION

Drinking safe and clean water and having access to sanitation is a human right that, unfortunately, not everyone has access to. AquaFed and its members' main mission is ensuring the implementation of systems allowing anyone to have access to this right.
