- Vidler Water Resources, Inc. (VWTR) is a water resource company that develops and monetizes sustainable water supplies for growing communities and projects in the arid southwestern United States; it identifies, acquires, and develops water rights from fragmented agricultural markets for conversion to higher-value municipal, industrial, and real estate uses; sells water rights and long-term storage credits; leases and sells associated land and water assets; constructs pipelines and storage facilities including underground aquifers for surplus water recovery; and provides water augmentation programs for end-users such as real estate developers, municipalities, utilities, state agencies, alternative energy facilities, and commercial entities. The company operates in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, California, Idaho, and Utah, with assets including projects like the Harquahala Valley recharge facility in Arizona, Fish Springs Ranch importation pipeline serving Reno-area development, and water resources adjacent to energy corridors. Founded in 1981 and formerly known as PICO Holdings, Inc. until its name change in March 2021, Vidler Water Resources is headquartered in Carson City, Nevada, and functions as a wholly owned subsidiary of D.R. Horton, Inc. (NYSE: DHI), the nation's largest homebuilder by volume, following its acquisition in a $291 million all-cash transaction completed in May 2022. Recent developments include team expansions with key hires such as a Chief Operating Officer in 2023, Water Resource Manager and Engineering Hydrogeologist in 2024; options to acquire up to 205,000 acre-feet of long-term storage credits in Pinal County, Arizona, to support thousands of new homes; ongoing water right acquisitions and ranch management at Fish Springs Ranch leased for solar energy; and pursuits of large infrastructure projects across the southwest leveraging its parent's homebuilding needs amid regional water shortages.
