H2O America
H2O America (NASDAQ: HTO), formerly SJW Group until its May 2025 rebrand, is an investor-owned, pure-play water and wastewater utility headquartered in San Jose, California. It operates through four regional subsidiaries—Connecticut Water, Maine Water, San Jose Water, and Texas Water—serving more than 1.6 million people across approximately 407,000 water and wastewater service connections, and generates roughly $900M in annual revenue. Its core business is producing, purchasing, storing, purifying, and distributing water plus operating wastewater systems; supporting activities include infrastructure capital projects (water mains, storage tanks, PFAS treatment facilities), regulatory rate cases, billing, customer service, and a small real estate division. This is a regulated service/infrastructure operator, not a manufacturing or assembly business, so it has no production line requiring contact-rich dexterous manipulation. No company-specific robotics or automation manipulation activity was found in public sources.
