Vivendi Environnement wins Scandinavia's first water outsourcing services contract for the Swedish town of Norrtälje


June 21st, 2001 - Vivendi Water, a Vivendi Environnement subsidiary, has won the first ever contract for outsourcing services in water and wastewater to be awarded in Sweden. The contract, won as part of an international invitation to tender, is for the town of Norrtälje.

Norrtälje is the first community in Sweden to choose the outsourcing solution to manage its municipal water and wastewater services, including storm water. The town has a population of 50,000 and is located close to Stockholm. The management contract is for 10 years and does not call for any capital investment by Vivendi Water. It represents a total revenue of 25 million euros.

Over and beyond its professionalism and know-how as a water services operator, Vivendi Water displayed a real partnership approach with the municipality. The company was also able to satisfy requirements in terms of environmental protection, labor relations and cultural flexibility. This was helped by Vivendi Environnement's successful experiences in Sweden.

Vivendi Environnement has been operating in Sweden for several years through Dalkia Facilities Management AB, Connex which operates the Stockholm metro and the Sundsvall bus network, and Onyx, the leader in waste processing in Scandinavia. This latest water services contract demonstrates the synergies set in place between Vivendi Water and the other Vivendi Environnement companies in Sweden.

Vivendi Water, a subsidiary of Vivendi Environnement, is the leading global provider of water and wastewater services for municipal authorities, industrial companies and consumers. The company provides the entire range of outsourcing and design-build services, as well as equipment and systems.
With operations in more than 100 countries, Vivendi Water serves over 110 million consumers and 40,000 industrial customers worldwide. It has revenues of 12.9 billion euros for 2000 and 69,000 employees.
