Calais awards public services drinking water contract to Suez

摘要

Lyonnaise des Eaux, a subsidiary of Suez Environnement, has been selected by the French City of Calais for a public services drinking water contract covering a period of 12 years, commencing next month, and worth €79 million ($91.5 million). The contract covers the preservation of water resources and improvements in quality of service to the citizens of Calais. Calais has been committed to a water preservation programme in the city perimeter for several years using Suez Environnement's Aquadvanced technology to measure flow, pressure and use of water as a means of identifying malfunctions. The system enables visualisation in real time in order to locate leaks and optimise repair operations. The data collected are processed and analysed to provide the municipality with a tool to support decision making in its investment policies.
