ZWiK Prudnik

What ZWiK Prudnik does

ZWiK Prudnik sp. z o.o. is a municipally-owned water and sewage utility (Zakład Wodociągów i Kanalizacji) serving the residents and businesses of Gmina Prudnik and the adjacent Gmina Lubrza in the Opole Voivodeship of southwestern Poland. The company is wholly owned by Gmina Prudnik and operates under a regulated monopoly framework with tariffs approved for the period 04.03.2025-03.03.2028, billed per cubic meter plus a monthly subscription fee differentiated by customer category (households, public administration, businesses, firefighting). Its service portfolio spans potable water supply, sewage collection and treatment, liquid-waste (septic) collection via its own asenizacyjny vehicle, sewer cleaning with specialized SCK-3z and SW-21 vehicles, network CCTV inspection, smoke testing, pipe welding up to DN400, trenchless pipe replacement (pipe bursting, horizontal directional drilling), and a PN-EN ISO 9001:2015-certified laboratory offering physicochemical and microbiological water/sewage testing priced per parameter.

The business generates revenue from three principal streams: regulated water supply fees, regulated sewage collection and treatment fees, and ancillary commercial services including equipment rental (excavators, tractors, specialized cleaning vehicles), external laboratory testing, and specialist technical services. Customer-facing operations run through a physical Biuro Obsługi Klienta (Mon-Fri 7:00-14:00), a 24/7 emergency hotline (994), and an electronic E-BOK portal for account management and consumption history. Infrastructure comprises a wastewater treatment plant at ul. Poniatowskiego 7 (Prudnik), a water intake and treatment station at Szybowice, additional network assets, and a fleet of specialized construction and inspection equipment maintained in-house.

Recent capital and operational activity has been dominated by post-flood recovery (the September 2024 flood pushed treatment plant inflow to 1,982 m³/h, tenfold the normal range) and EU/national grant capture — including a 3,015,082 PLN NFOŚiGW grant (Dec 2025) for flood remediation, a 918,145.83 PLN KPO grant (Apr 2026) for the 'Cyberbezpieczne Wodociągi' cybersecurity project, and ongoing PROW 2014-2020 co-financing for Szybowice Phase IV sanitary sewer construction. Marketing and distribution are entirely direct, relying on the company website, BIP public bulletin, and a Facebook page — no resellers, no intermediaries, no commercial sales motion.

Broad incumbents

• Saur Polska Sp. z o.o. Private water and wastewater utility operator active across multiple Polish municipalities under concession contracts. Comparable core business (water supply, sewage treatment), but as a private multi-site operator rather than a single-territory municipal utility.

Comparable integrated water/wastewater service model and regulated municipal utility structure, though at materially larger scale and broader service portfolio.

Regional players

• Przedsiębiorstwo Wodociągów i Kanalizacji sp. z o.o. w Gliwicach (PWiK Gliwice): Municipal water and sewage utility serving Gliwice in the neighboring Silesia region. Comparable service model and regulated tariff structure under Polish Water Law; geographic proximity to Opolskie voivodeship makes it a relevant regional comparable.
