Suez Environnement wins €250m water supply management contract in France

Lyonnaise des Eaux, a subsidiary of French utility Suez Environnement, has won a €250m contract from SMGSEVESC, for management of its public drinking water supply service for 22 municipalities in the country.

SMGSEVESC operates Versailles and Saint-Cloud joint service for water management in France, and serves around 400,000 inhabitants across the municipalities. Under the contract, the company will provide water services for 12 years.

The scope of the contract includes implementation of renewed governance, enhancement of water quality and taste for users, and use of intelligent technologies to support network performance.

New rules will be implemented as part of renewed governance, aiming to strengthen the local authority that offers the water supply service.

Suez Environnement is expected to use a new decarbonation solution and chlorination system to enhance the quality and taste of water supplied across the municipalities.

Lyonnaise des Eaux has developed a water supply management centre, Aqua 360, which uses Suez Environnement’s Aquadvanced technology.

SMGSEVESC will use the centre for a centralised overview of its plant operations and distribution network.

Real-time monitoring is expected to help the water management service avoid leaks across its distribution network.
