In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set forth in Schedule 2 without having carried out any independent investigation or verification in respect of those assumptions.

3	Opinions

On the basis of the examinations and assumptions referred to above and subject to the qualifications set forth in Schedule 3 and the limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

Issue of Ordinary Shares

(b)

When allotted, issued and paid for as contemplated in the Registration Statement and the relevant Plan and duly entered as fully paid into the Company’s register of members, the issue and allotment of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to each Plan will be authorised by all requisite corporate action of the Company and the Ordinary Shares will be validly issued and allotted and (assuming that all of the required consideration is received by the Company) fully paid and non-assessable. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, the Ordinary Shares are only issued when they have been entered into the register of members of the Company.

(c)

as to whether the acceptance, execution or performance of the Company’s obligations under the documents reviewed by us will result in the breach of or infringe any agreement, deed or document entered into by or binding on the Company.

SCHEDULE 3

Qualifications

Good Standing

Under the Companies Act annual returns in respect of the Company must be filed with the Registrar, together with payment of annual filing fees. A failure to file annual returns and pay annual filing fees may result in the Company being struck off the Register of Companies, following which its assets will vest in the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands and will be subject to disposition or retention for the benefit of the public of the Cayman Islands.

In good standing means only that as of the date of the Good Standing Certificate the Company is up-to-date with the filing of its annual returns and payment of annual fees with the Registrar. We have made no enquiries into the Company's good standing with respect to any filings or payment of fees, or both, that it may be required to make under the laws of the Cayman Islands other than the Companies Act.

Register of Writs

3	Our examination of the Register of Writs cannot conclusively reveal whether or not there is:

(a)any current or pending litigation in the Cayman Islands against the Company; or

(b)

any application for the winding up or dissolution of the Company or the appointment of any liquidator or trustee in bankruptcy in respect of the Company or any of its assets,

as notice of these matters might not be entered on the Register of Writs immediately or updated expeditiously or the court file associated with the matter or the matter itself may not be publicly available (for example, due to sealing orders having been made). Furthermore, we have not conducted a search of the summary court. Claims in the summary court are limited to a maximum of CI $20,000.

Limited liability

We are not aware of any Cayman Islands authority as to when the courts would set aside the limited liability of a shareholder in a Cayman Islands company. Our opinion on the subject is based on the Companies Act and English common law authorities, the latter of which are persuasive but not binding in the courts of the Cayman Islands. Under English authorities, circumstances in which a court would attribute personal liability to a shareholder are very limited, and include: (a) such shareholder expressly assuming direct liability (such as a guarantee); (b) the company acting as the agent of such shareholder; (c) the company being incorporated by or at the behest of such shareholder for the purpose of committing or furthering such shareholder’s fraud, or for a sham transaction otherwise carried out by such shareholder. In the absence of these circumstances, we are of the opinion that a Cayman Islands’ court would have no grounds to set aside the limited liability of a shareholder.

Non-assessable

5	In this opinion the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to Ordinary Shares, that a member of the Company shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a member of the Company, be


	7

Consolidated Water Co. Ltd.

liable for additional assessments or calls on the Ordinary Shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstance in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

Private Funds

6	A company, unit trust or exempted limited partnership that is a "private fund", as such term is defined in the Private Funds Act (Revised), is prohibited from accepting capital contributions from investors in respect of investments until it is registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.
