Cash runway and the debt wall

Cash & investments$3.5M
Debt$134M
Net debt$130M
Due within a year$3.9M

Global Water Resources's operations bring cash in ($18.8M over twelve months), and it spends more than that on capital projects: a gap of $18.7M funded from its $3.5M of cash and investments and from borrowing ($134M of debt, $3.9M due within a year). That is a choice to invest, not a cash runway running down.
