Vilniaus Vandenys

What Vilniaus Vandenys does

Vilniaus Vandenys (UAB "Vilniaus vandenys") is Lithuania's largest water utility, operating under a regulated concession as the exclusive provider of drinking water supply and wastewater collection and treatment services across the Vilnius region, Šalčininkai, Švenčionių, and Vilniaus rajonas. Founded in 1991 and headquartered at Spaudos g. 8-1, Vilnius, the company serves approximately 283,000 customer accounts — a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial users — and operates an extensive physical infrastructure footprint of 1,811 km of water supply pipelines, 1,530 km of wastewater networks, 33 water intakes, 287 wells, 153 pumping stations, and six wastewater treatment plants. Daily throughput stands at 94,000 m³ of water delivered and 116,000 m³ of wastewater treated.

The company is deploying the first NB-IoT-based ultrasonic smart water metering program in the Baltic region — 350,000 meters targeted by 2030 to replace all mechanical meters and eliminate manual reading — alongside an AI-powered wastewater treatment optimization system at the Vilnius Wastewater Treatment Plant, which is described as the most modern facility in the Baltic countries and uses HELCOM environmental standards. Biogas generated from wastewater sludge covers approximately 25% of the company's electricity needs, and an ongoing €50 million EIB-financed modernization program (completion 2028) targets infrastructure upgrades, digitalization, and environmental improvements.

Revenue is generated primarily through regulated, recurring monthly tariffs on water supply and wastewater services, set by the National Energy and Prices Commission (VERT), supplemented by one-time connection fees, network expansion services, and ancillary offerings such as laboratory testing, equipment rental, water delivery, and wastewater removal. With 2025 revenue of €67.8 million (up 9% year-over-year) and a workforce of approximately 800–900, Vilniaus Vandenys accounts for roughly 70% of Lithuania's water utility sector revenue. Customer engagement is delivered through a combination of a digital self-service portal (e-savitarna), phone support via the Telenordi-operated 1889/19118 lines, physical customer service centers, and an omnichannel payment network spanning banks, retail, and Lithuanian Post.
