Clearford Water Systems is taking on two new loans worth a total of US$4.275 million in a bid to strengthen its balance sheet.
The Ottawa-based water solutions company said earlier this week the new loans are valued at US$2.375 million and US$1.9 million 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.
