What KOMUNALA NOVO MESTO d.o.o. does

Komunala Novo mesto d.o.o. is a Slovenian municipal utility company (d.o.o. = private limited liability, organized as a municipal communal services operator) headquartered at Podbevškova ulica 12, Novo mesto, providing essential communal services to eight municipalities in the Dolenjska region of southeastern Slovenia: Novo mesto, Šentjernej, Škocjan, Mirna Peč, Dolenjske Toplice, Žužemberk, Straža, and Šmarješke Toplice. The company's portfolio is organized around five core service divisions: drinking water supply (Pitna voda), wastewater drainage and treatment (Odpadna voda), municipal waste collection and recycling (Odpadki), general municipal services including public market management and cemetery/funeral services (Splošna komunala), and a development/investments division handling infrastructure projects, geoinformatics, and permits. The water supply operation (Novomeški vodovod) has been in continuous operation for over 120 years, supported by an extensive pipe network and treatment infrastructure across the service territory.

The underlying technology stack centers on conventional communal infrastructure management augmented by a layer of digital customer tools. Operational infrastructure includes water distribution networks, wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations, and small communal treatment plants (<50 PE). Digital-facing features include radio-based automated water meter reading (Radijsko odčitavanje vodomerov), the Moja eKomunala self-service portal for meter submissions and e-billing, the VodApp mobile application for water quality monitoring, a waste classification guide (Abecednik odpadkov), a waste collection schedule finder, and a grave search tool (Iskalnik grobov) integrated via partnership with Protok.com. No AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or proprietary model infrastructure are disclosed.

The revenue model is a hybrid of recurring municipal utility fees and usage-based service charges. The company bills residential and commercial customers monthly for water supply (consumption-based), wastewater drainage and treatment (volume-based), and waste collection (container size and frequency-based). Additional revenue streams include on-demand services such as septic tank emptying, bulky waste removal, communal connection consents, and cemetery services. Pricing is publicly disclosed via the company's Cenik storitev (service price list). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer for residential customers via the eKomunala portal and phone support, and direct-to-municipality for infrastructure projects and B2B contracts. The company is owned and operated as a municipal utility with no disclosed parent company, no venture capital or private equity backing, no subsidiaries, and no recorded funding rounds.
