Municipal water management
and water treatment in experienced hands
In many parts of the world, ensuring a reliable supply of clean drinking water is an enormous challenge. The consistent availability of high-quality drinking water is, however, crucial for human survival and a key aspect of public services. For this reason, we support municipalities in drinking water treatment and water supply – sustainably and locally.
The WTE Group uses its expertise in municipal water management to create good conditions for the supply of drinking water across Germany and internationally. We supply regionally harmonised concepts for integrated water management so that sustainable and cost-efficient water supply can be ensured locally across municipalities
In Europe, having access to clean tap water and drinking water is something we can generally rely on. We make that things stay this way – while securing the supply of water and the treatment of drinking water for a large number of regions worldwide. Working together with municipalities, we design, build and modernise water treatment plants and supply networks that are suitable for local conditions. On request, we can also take care of your financing and operational management – all with cutting-edge technology, in top quality and from a single source. This is how the WTE Group – working together with our partners on site – guarantees the water supply of millions of people every day.
Having access to clean drinking water is a human right. This is something we believe in very strongly. This is why we are delighted whenever we have a project that allows us to give people this access.

Depending on the region, water treatment or drinking water supply on site can be very complex. It involves tapping into sources of raw water, creating the infrastructure for distribution and ensuring that water resources are kept pure in the long term. With a custom service portfolio, we create all the right conditions for sustainable, economic and future-proof supply of the population – in Germany and in many other countries.
The possibilities for drinking water treatment can differ enormously at a global level. It is therefore our goal to tap into suitable water sources that are available locally. This may involve groundwater reserves like wells and springs, or surface water and rivers that flow into the sea. We identify the best sources for collecting water, design concepts for the water treatment and ensure that the resource can be harnessed sustainably. This makes sure that the raw material will be available on a permanent basis and cover demand.
For water supply plants and for distribution and disposal networks, good planning is essential. For this reason, we provide project- and location-specific strategies for your project, dimension sections of the plants, check possibilities for optimising existing structures and support the project from the design phase to its structural implementation. The same applies to production and treatment plants and for pumping stations, water tanks, network structures and more. This is what enables the drinking water to be delivered safely from the source to every household.
In practically every location, the conditions for collecting and supplying drinking water are different. This is why we design fully custom strategies for drinking water treatment and water supply in accordance with the regional situation.

High-quality drinking water is a valuable commodity. We help to preserve it. Municipalities around the world have put their faith in our expertise for decades when it comes to the sustainable supply of water on site. You can find examples of our plants for drinking water treatment on our references page – if you have any questions, get in touch with us for a consultation.
To ensure that the drinking water is pure, we perform regular sampling and laboratory analysis. This enables any contamination to be identified promptly, so that appropriate measures can be taken. Furthermore, established water treatment procedures are used to ensure that all the stipulations of Germany’s Drinking Water Ordinance and other legal regulations are complied with. The same applies to international and country-specific drinking water quality requirements.
Groundwater or river bank filtrate cannot be used as drinking water: a large number of organic compounds, metals and suspended materials and pollutants make the water less pleasant to drink or barely appropriate for drinking at all. To turn raw water into drinking water, it needs to undergo several purification steps as part of the drinking water treatment:
Depending on the geographic conditions, it may be necessary for certain different processes to be applied to fully purify the water. The treated water is then an entirely safe part of the local water supply and can be fed into the local fresh water networks.
Reliable and economic operation of treatment plants and sewer networks calls for the use of the latest technology and software. For this reason, we have developed our own software solutions for water management 4.0. Our products can be used to automate processes, maintain distribution network databases, create inventory documentation or plan refurbishment work for plants and distribution networks. At the same time, our software products enable intuitive fee management at municipal level. This means that administration processes can be reduced and costs can be saved in operation.
Water is vital for human life – which is why WTE Group is committed to protecting this resource for future generations. With our expertise in all process steps leading up to long-term operational management, we pave the way for the safe drinking water supply of tomorrow.
Whether it’s setting up new plants for water production, recycling process water as part of wastewater treatment to conserve resources or our research into new approaches and methods for water treatment – we are a strong, local partner.
From the pumping station to pipeline construction for the drinking water network, every one of our projects is designed for sustainability, efficiency and profitability. This enables us to design, realise, refurbish and, if agreed, operate fully fledged system solutions for water supply, even under challenging local conditions. We represent 100% security of supply, certified quality and fair conditions – please contact us.
