Severn Trent Water International Ltd Reorganizes, Changes Name to Severn Trent Services International


BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom - November 9, 2007 - In a corporate reorganization that dramatically expands the company's service offerings, Severn Trent Water International Ltd has been renamed Severn Trent Services International.

As Severn Trent Water International, the company offered global water utility management and contract management services encompassing institutional development; implementing effective management systems; providing assistance with issues surrounding change management; offering training and other programs associated with organizational development; and improving financial management and revenue generation. Over the last 20 years, water utilities and municipalities in more than 65 countries around the world have employed the company's services to become more profitable, more efficient and better-managed organizations.

As Severn Trent Services International, the company now offers worldwide contract operating services in addition to its existing utility management services and contract management portfolio.

The company's new mission builds upon the extensive operating experiences of four organizations:
