Clearford Water Systems is taking out two new loans worth a total of US$2 million as it looks to strengthen its balance sheet, fund capital expenditures and pay down existing debt.
The Ottawa-based water solutions company said earlier this week the new loans are valued at US$1 million each and carry an interest rate of 9.75 per cent.
Clearford said the new loans will help it manage its debt as it transitions to a full-service water solutions company that provides wastewater management and disinfectant systems. The firm first announced its plan to become a full-service utility through acquisitions back in 2017.
