DPMV Zrt.

What DPMV Zrt. does

DPMV Zrt. (Dél-Pest Megyei Víziközmű Szolgáltató Zrt.) is a Hungarian municipally-owned, regulated regional water utility headquartered in Gyál, Hungary. The company provides drinking water supply and wastewater collection and treatment services to approximately 56,000 service locations across roughly 20 municipalities in Dél-Pest (South Pest) county, including Gyál, Vecsés, Dunavarsány, Kerepes, Ócsa, and Pécel. DPMV Zrt. holds a government-issued license making it the designated monopoly provider within this service territory, with tariffs set by Hungarian regulation (25/2023 EM decree, as amended by 2/2026 ÉKFM) and differentiated between residential and non-residential customers. The infrastructure footprint includes more than 100 water wells, drinking water treatment facilities, extensive pipeline networks, and sewage treatment plants, with operational hubs in Dunavarsány and across the service territory.

The company's product portfolio centers on essential regulated utility services — drinking water supply (ivóvízellátás), sewage collection and treatment (szennyvízelvezetés és -tisztítás), and new-connection approvals — supplemented by digital service channels including the e-ügyfél online customer portal, e-számla electronic invoicing (mandatory for non-residential customers since January 1, 2026), a 24/7 dispatcher service, and prepaid water meter top-up options. Technical differentiation includes a hydrogel-based pipe cleaning technology for drinking water networks and participation in the EU-funded KEHOP-2.1.7 environmental awareness consortium alongside VASIVÍZ Zrt. and Magyar Víziközmű Szövetség.

The business model is a regulated subscription/recurring utility: recurring monthly tariff revenue from water supply and wastewater services, one-time connection and infrastructure fees for new customers, and a cost-reduction push toward e-invoicing to displace the ~190 million HUF/year paper-billing cost base. The company is governed by a 5-member Board of Directors with CEO Horváth Attila József, and in August 2022 shareholders voted to reject the free transfer of water utility assets to state-owned Nemzeti Víziközmű Zrt., preserving independent municipal ownership. In March 2022, DPMV Zrt. lost the Nagytarcsa service territory to FCSM Zrt. following a MEKH designation decision.

Revenue model

1. Water supply service fees: Regulated water supply tariff revenue charged to all customer categories. Rates are set by government decree (25/2023 (XII.13.) EM regulation as amended by 2/2026 (VI.30.) ÉKFM). The fee includes a base charge and a consumption-proportional charge. Rates differ between residential and non-residential customer categories.
2. Wastewater collection and treatment fees: Regulated wastewater collection and treatment tariff revenue. Same regulatory framework applies as water supply fees. Charges include base fees and consumption-proportional fees for both sewer collection and treatment.
3. Connection and infrastructure fees: Fees charged for new water and sewer connections, including connection approvals and infrastructure access statements. These are one-time fees for new customers connecting to the network.
4. E-számla and digital services: Revenue derived from digital service adoption initiatives. While e-invoicing is mandated for non-residential customers, the company runs promotional campaigns encouraging paperless billing among residential customers to reduce operational costs.
