Translate utility capital improvement plans into actionable insight on future water infrastructure investment, project-level spend, and market opportunities.
Bluefield’s team of water experts has dedicated significant time and resources to supporting companies with bottom-up data collection and analysis of 780 capital improvement plans (CIP) for the largest water & wastewater utilities across the U.S. & Canada. These CIPs translate utility capital needs into market opportunities for technology & equipment vendors, and engineering & construction firms.
As of Q2 2026, 280 utility CIPs have been refreshed. Bluefield will continue updating our CIP data on a rolling basis to align with utilities’ annual budget cycles, ensuring clients have access to the most current project and investment information.
This data helps our clients address key questions:
- Which utilities are trending toward advanced treatment solutions?
- Which states present larger opportunities for our business development team?
- What is our addressable market for utilities serving over >50,000 customers?
- What major capital improvement projects are coming down
the pipeline for our utility clients?
