Veolia Water will be providing solutions to meet the needs of the town of Draveil for water supply and network performance.
Under the terms of the contract, the financial balance of which was highly appreciated, Veolia Water's commitments are:
- a lasting improvement in distribution network performance: Veolia Water will use innovative techniques to find leaks and repair them in order to reach a performance of 85% rather than the 81.9% measured in 2012 (1,259,000 cubic meters distributed). To meet this challenging target, 1 kilometer of network will be renewed every year;
- an improvement in customer satisfaction via indicators that will ensure reduced lead times for each type of request (replies to letters, technical interventions, compliance with appointment times, etc.);
- tight control over the price of water.
Veolia Water also committed to obtaining environmental certification for the water service.
The authority underlined the operational efficiency of Veolia Water's teams, which enabled operation of the new contract to start up very rapidly from mid-April.
