"Korea Water Resources Corporation's (K-water) Aa2 issuer
rating reflects our assessment of a very high likelihood of
support from the Government of Korea (Aa2 stable) to K-
water in a distressed situation... This high likelihood of support
stems from the company's important strategic role in water
management, Our view of strong government support is
also underpinned by the government's ability to provide
such support, as reflected by its Aa2 rating and stable
outlook"
Moody's Investors Service, May 2017
"Our business risk profile assessment reflects K-Water's
strong position as the sole government-owned national
scale builder and operator of wholesale water supply
infrastructure. We view K-Water as playing an essential role
of providing stable water supply in Korea, ... The ratings on
K-Water reflect our opinion that there is an almost certain
likelihood that the government of Korea will provide the
company with timely and sufficient extraordinary support
in the event of financial distress"
