What Communauté d'Agglomération Sarreguemines Confluences does

Communauté d'Agglomération Sarreguemines Confluences (CASC) is a French Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale (EPCI) created by law on July 12, 1999 and modified by the law of December 16, 2010. It groups 38 communes in the Moselle department of the Grand Est region, serving more than 67,000 residents (with Sarreguemines, approaching 22,000 inhabitants, as the central commune) under the governance of 80 elected council members led by a President and Vice-Presidents. Its statutory competencies span waste management, drinking water, sanitation, public transport, urban planning, housing, economic development, early childhood, mobility infrastructure, higher-education support, and traveler accommodation.

The operating platform is anchored by extensive physical infrastructure: 630 km of drinking-water network (20 production sites, 28 reservoirs, 5+ million m³/year distributed via SAUR), 700 km of sewer network (20 treatment plants, 120 pumping stations, 10+ million m³/year treated, with the Sarreguemines plant operated by VEOLIA), 200+ waste collection points across 6 déchèteries (managed via SYDEME's Sydem'Pass card and Sydem'App), and the CABUS transport network of 4 urban + 9 suburban + 9 interurban lines with 60 daily vehicles and 160 daily departures. Distinctive assets include the FaHyence alternative-fuels station (Europe's first public-access green-hydrogen site, built by McPhy), 17 EV-charging stations (34 charge points) managed via Freshmile, 875+ hectares of activity zones anchoring 391 enterprises and 11,053 jobs, and the Maison de l'Habitat / GeoPermis housing and urban-planning service backed by a community GIS in place since 2007.

CASC is financed by statutory fiscal products (TEOM, CFE, CVAE, taxe foncière, taxe d'habitation, versement mobilité, IFER, TASCOM, taxe de séjour, GEMAPI), user fees (CABUS fares from €0.90/single ticket to €118/school annual pass; sanitation at €1.815/m³ + €40 fixed; early-childhood fees per CNAF tariff), national and European grants (Mission Locale subsidy €66,243 in 2021, LEADER €50,000 for carpooling, Fonds vert €145,025), and co-financing from State DSIL, Recovery Plan, ANS, Région Grand Est, and Département de la Moselle for the €18M Bliespark sports project. Service delivery combines direct provision (waste collection, roads, mobility, urban planning) with public-service delegations and operational partnerships (SAUR, VEOLIA, Les Petits Chaperons Rouges, MOB'HY, ENDESA, SYDEME, Freshmile, BlaBlaCar Daily). Subsidy vehicles include SEML Sarreguemines Confluences (economic development) and Sarreguemines Confluences Habitat (social housing, restructured July 2021).
