MPWiK S.A.

What MPWiK S.A. does

MPWiK S.A. (Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji S.A. we Wrocławiu) is the regulated municipal water and wastewater utility serving Wrocław and parts of surrounding municipalities in Poland. It is 100% owned by Gmina Wrocław (the City of Wrocław) and operates three water production plants (Mokry Dwór, Na Grobli, and Leśnica), the Wrocławska Oczyszczalnia Ścieków wastewater treatment plant, and more than 2,000 km of water and 2,300 km of sewage network. The company supplies approximately 49 million m³ of water and treats approximately 52.7 million m³ of sewage annually for roughly 1 million residents and a commercial/industrial customer base, with regulated tariffs approved by the Polish water authority.

The core technology stack is built around a proprietary GIS-based Technical Infrastructure Management System and the SmartFlow real-time monitoring platform developed with Future Processing, complemented by District Metered Areas (DMA) segmentation and pressure/water-quality sensors. These systems have reduced water loss from 16% in 2014 to 4.04% in 2025, placing MPWiK among global leaders (Netherlands, Singapore). MPWiK also operates a wholly-owned environmental education subsidiary, CEE Hydropolis (3 million cumulative visitors since 2015, ~336,000 in 2025), and runs the Akademia H2O and Akademia Przyjaciół Wody programmes reaching 30,000+ schoolchildren.

Revenue is generated through regulated, usage-based monthly tariffs for water supply and sewage services, supplemented by liquid-waste reception fees, accredited laboratory services (~93,000 analyses/year), and ancillary fees. The go-to-market is municipal mandate rather than sales competition: customer acquisition is driven by geographic monopoly, with service delivery via e-BOK portal, video consultations, the Customer Service Center, and a 24/7 emergency hotline (994). Capital projects are largely co-financed by EU/Polish programmes, with 435 million PLN in FEnIKS funding secured in 2025 alone, the largest grant in company history.

Revenue model

1. Water supply services: Core revenue stream from water extraction, treatment and distribution to residents, businesses and institutions across Wrocław. Revenue is generated through regulated tariffs approved by the regulatory authority, based on volume consumed (measured by water meters). Water is sourced primarily from the Oława River (supplemented by Nysa Kłodzka) and processed through two water treatment plants: 'Mokry Dwór' (directly from surface intake) and 'Na Grobli' (after preliminary treatment through aquifer areas).
2. Sewage collection and treatment: Collection and treatment of wastewater from residential, commercial and industrial customers. Revenue generated through sewage tariffs based on volume discharged. The Wrocław Sewage Treatment Plant (Wrocławska Oczyszczalnia Ścieków - WOŚ) processes over 52.7 million m³ of sewage annually.
3. Liquid waste reception services: Service for customers not connected to the municipal sewage network, receiving liquid waste from sanitation vehicles at three designated reception stations. Offered to sanitation companies and property owners with standalone tanks.
4. Laboratory services: Water quality testing and laboratory analysis services. Accredited laboratory performs over 93,000 analyses annually, testing water samples from various points in the distribution network. Services available to both internal operations and external customers.

• PUB (Public Utilities Board, Singapore): Singapore's national water agency. Globally benchmarked for water network efficiency (<5% loss rate, similar to MPWiK's 4.04%). Comparable as a model for digital monitoring and operational excellence in water utilities, though at country rather than city scale.
