Happenings Around the Water Team MARCH 5, 2025 | ISSUE II
GREETING Welcome to 2025 and our latest edition of CHAqua News. I hope you each had a fun and restful holiday season. Make sure to check out holiday/vacation pics from our team members at the end of the newsletter. Last month I stressed the importance of our work on public health and the environment driven by record investment in water infrastructure projects. While we continue to focus on our mission, it’s important to keep in mind that we are a business with annual budget metrics, which is why we list our year-to-date actuals against budget in the spirit of full transparency (see 2nd page). Meeting revenue and profitability metrics ensures we have a sustainable model to grow, provide competitive compensation/benefits, and enable professional growth opportunities for staff. Note a few items as you look at 2024 results: • Our year over year revenue growth was extremely strong at over 10%. We fell short of an aggressive budget target, but the growth rate is excellent against industry standards. • A key measure of sustainable growth is maintaining a heavy backlog through contract bookings. We had record bookings of almost $55M in 2024!
