Szegedi Vízmű

What Szegedi Vízmű does

Szegedi Vízmű Zrt. is the designated municipal water and wastewater utility for Szeged, Hungary, supplying potable water, collecting and treating wastewater, and maintaining the underlying water infrastructure for residential, commercial, and institutional customers across the city and its metropolitan area. The company was founded in 1994 and operates as a Hungarian private company limited by shares (Zártkörűen működő Részvénytársaság) with 101-250 employees. It is affiliated with the Veolia Group, which is reflected on the corporate website and supporting its operational expertise. Service territory is restricted to a single city, giving the company a regulated monopoly position under oversight of Szeged Megyei Jogú Város (Szeged City Government).

The company's physical asset base includes the Szeged Wastewater Treatment Plant, which features an on-site biogas production facility for energy generation from wastewater processing (with a new biogas-powered gas motor commissioned in March 2026), the historic Szent István téri water tower, and a network of distribution mains currently undergoing multi-site pipeline reconstruction. Water quality is managed through a comprehensive monitoring and certification system, and the company holds ISO 37001 anti-bribery management certification. Technical customer-facing infrastructure includes an electronic customer service portal, an iOS/Android mobile application, online meter reading reporting, electronic and PDF invoicing, and bank card payment processing via SimplePay (OTP Group).

The business model is built on regulated subscription-based monthly billing for water supply and wastewater services, supplemented by transaction fees for special/extra services and protected/vulnerable user pricing tiers. Revenue is generated almost exclusively from customers within the Szeged concession area, with no disclosed revenue figures publicly available. The company supplements its core utility operations with environmental and community programs, including EU-funded projects under the Interreg V-A Romania-Hungary Program and the KEHOP-2.1.7.19-2019-00016 water utility awareness initiative, alongside recognitions such as the Green Awards 'Év Zöld Nagyvállalata' and Bird-Friendly Workplace certification.
