It is the biggest water management company in Bohemia and also in the wider Central-European region. Our activities cover the region of Ústí nad Labem and main part of the Liberec Region; it means the area 7,400 sq. kilometres (that is 12% of the national territory) with at least 1,128 million inhabitants.
All the stocks are shared with 457 North-Bohemian towns and communities. From the beginning, the foundation of a big regional water services proprietary company enabled a rational and rapid solution of serious ecological disturbance in the given region and substantially helped small comunities who weren´t able to finance the construction and development of water management infrastructure.

The preparation and implementation of high volume projects for the fulfilment of all of these objectives demand hard skilled preparation and concentration of great deal of financial investment means, even if it is partly implemented with financial support of National and European Union Funds.

- Application of uniform water rate on the whole territory
- Maintenance of acceptable water rate
