Eau de Paris


Eau de Paris is the publicly owned company responsible for the public water supply and waste water collection for the city of Paris.

History

The company was created in 2008 after a ballot initiative from then Mayor Bertrand Delanoë. The city's water was then substantially managed by two private companies which the municipal government bought out.

Operations

The company distributes 563,000 m³ of drinking water a day. In 2010 the company began installing drinking fountains dispensing fizzy water in the city.
