Aqualia - SEFO (AQUALIA group) has just been awarded the water supply management of 16 municipalities around Mantes-la-Ville in the Yvelines department located in the Île-de-France region, very close to Paris.
This award includes the concession -for 6 years and for an amount verging on EUR 30 million- to supply drinking water to the municipalities of Mantes-la-Ville, Guerville, Auffreville-Brasseuil, Vert, Flacourt, Aubergenville (where the GPSEO client's headquarters are located), Aulnaysur-Mauldre, la Falaise, Nezel, Epone, Mezieres-sur-Seine, Goussonville, Boinville-en-mantois, Jumeauville, Arnouville-les -Mantes, Hargeville and Flins-sur-Seine.
Under this management contract, which had previously been awarded to Suez (11 municipalities) and Veolia (5 municipalities), Aqualia undertakes to build a decarbonation facility within a maximum period of 14 months and implement an innovative project for remote meter reading during the first year of concession.
Added to this contract is the concession, also by GPSEO, to provide sanitation for the Carrieres sous-Poissy area, with six municipalities and more than 20,000 inhabitants in total (Carrieres sous-Poissy, Aulnay-sur-Mauldre, La Falaise, Nezel, Juziers and Vaux-sur seine), and to manage the sewage networks and the treatment plant for the Syndicat Intercommunal de Collecte et de Traitement des Eaux Usées du Bassin du Sausseron (SICTEUB) formed by four municipalities in Val d`Oise, north of Île de France.
These contracts are testimony to Aqualia's commitment to the French market since it entered back in 2019 and its strategy to bring its global developments closer to the local sphere by becoming fully engaged in the territories where it operates.
The awards show how much trust GPSEO -the largest communauté urbaine in France, which coordinates the municipal services of more than 400,000 inhabitants- has placed in the company's technical and management capabilities.
In the last three years, Aqualia has combined its global experience -gained from the 17 countries where it operates- with the deep roots that the company SEFO has been putting down in the local territory over the decades to become a leading player in France.
