Object of research: enterprises of water supply and wastewater treatment in Siberia. Objective: to develop an approach to assessing the development of water use in Siberia on the example of companies for water supply and wastewater treatment. Tasks: selection of indicators of the character of the development of economic entities in the industry; development and approbation of methods for assessing the effectiveness of enterprises on the example of Siberian water companies with different organizational and legal forms. The paper describes the development of water utilities of six regional centers of Siberia in the period from 2013 to 2016. The model approach to assessing the effectiveness of Siberian water companies was used to identify the development character for natural monopolies with different organizational and legal forms. Working in the challenging environment, the enterprises to the municipal ownership, in general, coped with the tasks of water supply and wastewater treatment in the considered large Siberian cities, however, in some cases there was a decrease in the level of development and changing funding sources. In the activity of companies with mixed capital, the positive influence of «manual» administration in the management of difficult situations was manifested, although it is too early to draw any definite conclusion. To justify more reliable recommendations, it is necessary to continue and expand financial and economic monitoring of the sustainability of water companies, both in Siberia and in the country as a whole.
