VASIVÍZ ZRt.

What VASIVÍZ ZRt. does

VASIVÍZ Vas megyei Víz- és Csatornamű ZRt. is a regulated water and sewage utility serving Vas County in western Hungary. The company operates an exclusive concession for drinking water supply and wastewater collection/treatment across most municipalities in the county (excluding certain settlements such as Bük, Bő, and Gór), serving residential, commercial, and institutional customers. Its core technology consists of physical water distribution networks, sewage collection systems, treatment plants, and an in-house laboratory for water quality testing, augmented by digital customer service platforms including the oufi.vasiviz.hu portal, a mobile application, and an online ticket purchasing system for its recreational facility. The company holds the highest national score (9.9/10) for water supply continuity and ranks top 3 among 36 Hungarian utilities for drinking water clarity and taste (9.2/10) per the 2024 MEKH Consumer Satisfaction Survey.

The business model centers on recurring metered utility charges—both base fees (per meter diameter) and consumption-based fees (Ft/m³)—for residential and non-residential customers, with residential pricing regulated locally and non-residential pricing set nationally by government decree. Revenue is supplemented by transaction-based fees from the Szombathely Covered Swimming Pool and Thermal Bath (a complementary sub-brand featuring a 50m competition pool, training pool, and therapeutic Aqua Savaria thermal waters), fees for construction and connection services, laboratory testing, and the sale of compost produced from treated sewage sludge. The company distributes services through six physical locations (one headquarters and customer service office in Szombathely, plus branch offices in Körmend, Sárvár, and Celldömölk, and operations units in Szentgotthárd and Vasvár), supported by telephone, email, SMS alerts, and digital self-service channels. Pricing is governed by government regulation with periodic inflation-linked adjustments and EU-funded capital projects (KEHOP-2.1.7) supplementing infrastructure investment at zero balance-sheet cost.
