Warsaw Waterworks

What Warsaw Waterworks does

Warsaw Waterworks (Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji w m.st. Warszawie S.A.) is a municipal water and wastewater utility founded in 1886, majority-owned by the City of Warsaw and publicly listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange under ticker MPW. The company supplies approximately 350 million liters of drinking water daily to over 98% of Warsaw's residents and eight surrounding municipalities, drawing from two independent water sources (Vistula River and Lake Zegrzyńskie). Its wastewater operations treat approximately 530 million liters daily across a network exceeding 4,300 km. The infrastructure footprint spans over 4,400 km of water network and 4,500 km of sewage network, supported by six water/wastewater treatment plants, a network operations division, and a laboratory division conducting 412,000 analyses annually.

The company operates as a regulated monopoly with revenue derived primarily from regulated tariffs approved by regional authorities for water supply and wastewater services. Additional revenue streams include connection and installation services, water meter sales and certification, industrial wastewater services, and emergency services. Pricing is structured per cubic meter with multi-year contracts across municipalities including Michałowice, Nieporęt, Raszyn, Serock, Wieliszew, Piastów, Pruszków, and Brwinów. Customer-facing digital channels include the eBOK online portal, eFAKTURA electronic invoicing, and ePŁATNOŚCI electronic payments, complemented by two customer service offices in Warsaw. The company is differentiating itself through its "Warszawska Kranówka" tap water brand and Źródełka public drinking fountains program, both designed to reduce bottled water consumption.

The company's growth is anchored to the multi-phase "Warsaw Project" (Projekt Warszawski), a long-running EU Cohesion Fund-financed infrastructure modernization program spanning 2001-2028 with total project costs exceeding PLN 7.6 billion and EU co-financing of approximately PLN 3.9 billion across seven phases. Recent strategic moves include a PLN 100 million contract with T-Mobile Polska to deploy one of Poland's largest IoT-based remote meter reading systems using NB-IoT technology, and PLN 264.7 million in KPO loans for green transformation investments. The company employs approximately 2,700 people, maintains a registered share capital of PLN 2.84 billion fully paid in, and has been led by President Renata Tomusiak, with the company celebrating its 140th anniversary in 2026.
