Ridgewood Infrastructure, a leading infrastructure investment firm focused on essential infrastructure in the U.S. lower middle market, today announced the successful sale of its 75% interest in the Vista Ridge water pipeline.

Michael Albrecht, Managing Partner of Ridgewood Infrastructure, expressed his appreciation for the partnership with SAWS and the broader community efforts that made the project a success.
“We are proud of the vital role Ridgewood Infrastructure played in the Vista Ridge pipeline. Our fruitful partnership with San Antonio Water System was instrumental in bringing this transformative project to life, ensuring the city has the resources it needs,” said Albrecht. “We also want to acknowledge the efforts of city officials and the many San Antonio stakeholders whose support and collaboration were instrumental to completing this ambitious project for the betterment of all residents. Together, we have created lasting infrastructure that will support the city for generations to come.”
