The market for waste water disposal in Germany
During the last years, the situation in waste water disposal changed remarkably: So far, legal
regulations (EEC Directive for Urban Waste Water Treatment) determined the sector. In the future,
waste water disposers have to face up to new tasks – especially to the replacement needs of the
waste water infrastructure, the demographic change and the manners of private households.
Investments in this field will amount to 4 billion Euros a year from 2009 to 2015.
Furthermore, the trend of privatising sewage networks and/or waste water treatment plants does
not stop. Since 1990, private companies were integrated in the waste water disposal of more than
40 German cities and municipalities, which affects more than 9 million inhabitants. This situation
will apply to a further 3 million people until 2015.
In the light of these developments the company ecoprog GmbH analysed the market for waste
water disposal in detail. We collected and evaluated data on the operators of sewerage systems
and waste water treatment plants. Additionally, we interviewed the operators concerning their
investment behaviour and their attitude towards privatisation.
The up to date market study includes this in-depth survey as well as our market knowledge and
offers figures, facts, estimations and trends in the German market for waste water disposal. This
market study is of interest for disposers, suppliers, operators, business associations, research
institutes and consultants.
The market study on waste water disposal in Germany 2009/2010 includes the following
specific information:
A detailed analysis of the most important political, economical and managerial trends in
waste water disposal.
A precise profile of the current and future investment volume up to and including 2015,
based on a transparent and comprehensible methodology.
The presentation of more than 500 operators of sewerage systems for all cities and
municipalities with more than 25,000 inhabitants, including essential operational data and
contact addresses.
The description of almost 600 waste water treatment plants with a capacity of at least
50,000 population equivalents, including operators, operational data and contact
addresses.
The presentation of essential characteristics in the segment of waste water disposal on
federal states level.
The study is only available in German from € 3,000 plus V.A.T.

3.1 Legislation: Higher requests and more self-monitoring
The most important environmental legislation for the disposal of waste water are the EEC Directive
for Urban Waste Water Treatment (91/271/EWG) and the EU Water Framework Directive
(2000/60/EG).
The EEC Directive for Urban Waste Water Treatment was passed in 1991 and ascertained
specific minimum requirements for the collection, conduction and purification of municipal waste
water. According to the directive, settlement areas with a volume of waste water of more than
2,000 population equivalents should be equipped with a canalisation. In areas with more than
10,000 population equivalents, the treatment of waste water is supposed to be at least two-staged.
Further special rules were introduced for especially sensitive regions. The directive regulated the
disposal of sludge as well.
These minimum requirements were supposed to be fulfilled completely up to 31 December 2005.
Germany reached them almost nationwide. Consequently, the EU did not admonish Germany
because of a noncompliance of these legal regulations, as was the case for several other
countries. Hence, there is no backlog demand in the federal states in connection with this directive.

The EU Water Framework Directive was passed in 2000 and established pollutant limits in order
to bring, with the implementation of an integrated water protection, Europe's watercourses into a
proper condition until 2015. In contrast to the Directive for Urban Waste Water Treatment, this one
did not specify concrete measures for the realisation. The Directive rather determined concrete
targets, which have to be observed in respect of condition and usage of bodies of water.

We expect an investment of around two billion Euros in the waste water disposal in Saxony for the
period of 2009-2015.
In Saxony, there is not only the oldest canalisation in the East German federal states, but also one
of the lowest levels of connection to the public sewerage system and waste water treatment plants.
Consequently, the bigger part of this investment will go to the reconstruction and new building of
the canalisation. For an increase of the currently around 82 per cent (level of connection to waste
water treatment plants), around 2,000 km of additional sewer pipes would have to be built.
However, one often abandons the option of connection and relies on more cost-effective,
peripheral solutions.
The decline of population in the course of the demographic chance will lead to the need of
modifying the sewerage system in many places (diminution of sewer bores etc.). The abrasion of
the constructions is a lot higher when the flow is too low. Consequently, the sewers have a period
of use that is averagely much shorter.
Since the German reunification, private companies undertake waste water disposal in several
Saxon cities. Gelsenwasser AG1 supplies the most inhabitants: In Dresden, the company operates
the drainage for almost 500,000 inhabitants and a waste water treatment plant with a population
equivalent of 650,000.
1 Gelsenwasser AG is in municipal possession, however, it can be considered as belonging to the sphere of privatisation because of its reflationary business policy with a private legal structure.

7.5 Veolia Environment S.A.
The environmental service provider Veolia Environment S.A. operates internationally and is based
in Paris. The corporate group employs around 320,000 people world-wide and generates an
annual turnover of ca 32.6 billion Euros. Major business areas are the segments of water/waste
water, disposal, energy and transport.
In the German field of waste water Veolia Environment S.A. is represented by Veolia Wasser
GmbH. With 7,850 employees, the company generates an annual turnover of 1.23 billion Euros.
However, only a fractional amount of this turnover is generated in the segment of waste water. All
in all, Veolia Wasser disposes the waste water of around 4.6 million people, whereas the stake in
the Berliner Wasserbetriebe account for 3.4 million of this number. In 1999, Veolia purchased
24,95 per cent of the company's share.
