Date: 06/07/2000 Anglian Water has purchased Aguas Puerto S.A. to give it a controlling interest in Esval, a water and wastewater company in Chile.
Esval serves a population of 1.3 million in a coastal area to the north and west of Chile痴 Metropolitan Region. As well as being home to Valparaiso, one of Chile痴 most important ports, the region is also home to tourist destinations such as Vina del Mar and Concon.
Esval was the first Chilean water company to be privatised in April 1999, when Anglian Water, with it痴 then partner Enersis, took a controlling stake. The transaction signed today, to purchase the Enersis shares, now gives Anglian Water a controlling interest in Esval. Commenting on the deal Tony Eckford, managing director of Anglian Water International, said: 展e are delighted to have completed this transaction in Chile which clearly indicates our commitment to South America. 典his is the third international success we have had in the past five weeks. In Europe we now serve more than 10 percent of the population in the Czech Republic following a recent win in Beroun. We have just added Hexian, a 20-year operational contract, to our portfolio of almost 30 design and build contracts won in China. 展ith these successes and our acquisition in Chile, Anglian Water now serves more customers overseas, than in the United Kingdom. |
