EURAWASSER

What EURAWASSER does

EURAWASSER is a German water management holding company headquartered in Lünen and structured as a GmbH & Co. KG (limited partnership). It operates as a subsidiary of REMONDIS Aqua GmbH & Co. KG, itself part of the REMONDIS Group, and serves approximately 600,000 residents with water and wastewater services through multiple regional subsidiaries across Germany. The company employs roughly 900 people and is jointly led by Managing Directors Robert Ristow and Marten Eger.

Its core service offering spans drinking-water supply, wastewater treatment, and material flow management. Operationally, EURAWASSER operates treatment plants and network infrastructure, augmented by LoRaWAN-based sensor systems for remote monitoring of distributed assets, and has introduced phosphorus recovery and biogas production processes that convert wastewater treatment outputs into recoverable material streams.

EURAWASSER's commercial model is built on long-term public-private partnerships (PPPs) with municipalities and regional authorities, offered through four standardized partnership structures that accommodate different municipal requirements and scales. Revenue is generated principally via regulated water/wastewater tariffs and service fees under these concession contracts, with an emerging revenue layer from recovered resources (phosphorus, biogas) and, potentially, data services tied to its sensor infrastructure.
