Lot of discussion regarding infrastructure investing lately with funds like TOLLX.

Pros and Cons of Infrastructure Investing: http://www.ftadviser.com/2013/02/28/investments/alternative-investments/the-pros-and-cons-of-investing-in-infrastructure-6rJxoG76vqDZumddSoqoaL/article.html

Article regarding UK water companies listed a handful of major water companies and their owners:

Anglian Water:
Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board, Colonial First State Global Asset Management (Australia), Industry Funds Management (Australia), 3i (UK)

Northumbrian Water:
Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings (Hong Kong)

Thames:
Macquarie Infrastructure Fund (Australia) ,China Investment Corporation, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority

Yorkshire:

Sutton and East Surrey
Sumitomo Corporation (Japan)

UK water companies, but various institutional owners from around the world. It appears the hard asset nature and relatively stable/consistent cash flows of infrastructure continue to appeal to investors.

    From SeekingAlpha post today entitled: Demographics, Water Scarcity, And How To Invest

    General Electric Co.

    Investors interested in advanced technology, which helps to solve the world's most complex challenges related to water availability and quality, can review GE Power & Water. General Electric Company (GE) is expected to emerge as a leader in the power infrastructure market, which will be the backbone for the firm's growth.
