When the water companies become involved in international commercial projects, it takes place on market terms and conditions. Zambia is experiencing economic growth and population growth in cities. It is therefore crucial that the security of supply of water and treatment of wastewater is improved and made significantly more efficient. The project concerns the renovation of a district in the city of Ndola, while contributing to improving overall health. It also ensures better utilisation of resources, as the loss of water and the number of times they experience flooding is sharply reduced. The project in Zambia puts a major emphasis on providing sustainable solutions. It is absolutely decisive for the success of the project that at the same time as equipment deliveries takes place, a significant amount of training is provided and that knowledge about the operation and maintenance of the new solutions is transferred, comments Henrik Werchmeister, Head of Area at VCS. Another good example of what Danish know-how and Danish technology can deliver is the Billund BioRefinery. This shows how the interaction between water companies, consultants and producers ensures value for Danish water customers and export markets. The project supports the water industrys Water Vision, which has the goal of creating 4,000 new jobs in the industry and a doubling of water technology exports within 10 years, comments DANVAs Managing Director Carl-Emil Larsen, who is also chairman of The Foundation for Development of Technology in the Danish Water Sector (VTU-Fonden). Billund Vand has developed Billund BioRefinery in joint collaboration with Krüger A/S. Two projects inspired by Billund BioRefinery have already been sold to South Korea. The door is open to the market in the United States In the United States, Aarhus Vand is working together in joint cooperation with the state of California and the city of Chicago in the field of water and wastewater. This cooperation has come to being within the framework of the Danish-US cooperation, Water Technology Alliance, which receives funding from The Danish Industry Foundation (Industriens Fond), WATER IN FIGURES 2017 Praise for the Danish water sector The report World Energy Outlook in 2016 highlights the Danish water sector as being especially energy-efficient. It specifically mentions Marselisborg Renseanlæg in Aarhus as an example that shows that wastewater treatment can become energy neutral. However, they are not alone, as many Danish wastewater plants are moving in the same direction. among other sources. Chicagos water utility works together with Danish water technology producers, Aarhus Vand, and Eksportrådet/ The Danish Trade Council. The expectation is that the invested money will come back many times over in the form of orders worth millions of kroner, along with new Danish jobs. Thus a future treatment plant in Chicago will be a full-scale model highlighting what can be offered by Danish water technology. The Americans have been inspired by our way of doing things. They have been very impressed that the wastewater treatment plant in Marselisborg produces 53 per cent more electricity than it consumes, reports Claus Homann, who is responsible for production, and strategic manager at Aarhus Vand. In order to support Danish exports and WTA, Aarhus Vand has one employee posted in Chicago and another one in San Francisco. The intention is to function as a neutral bridgehead between Danish water technology and the US market and use this approach as a means to open doors. Aarhus Vands international efforts are based on 3 legs: In the United States, it has the role of a kind of water ambassador, while the company as a water innovator in partnership with HOFOR and VCS is part of a global network. Finally, its is also a supplier of knowledge and manpower. In addition to the WTA cooperation in the United States, Aarhus Vand has projects, e.g. in cooperation with the Municipality of Aarhus, in India and South Africa, where they sell know-how while collaborating with Krüger A/S on several projects in Zambia. Danish water companies themselves benefit from the international joint collaboration. As Claus Homann comments: We want to support the Danish water vision. We are not a private company, and our involvement in international activities must also generate some benefits to us. The joint collaboration furthers our ongoing development, which will ultimately be of benefit to our customers in Aarhus, in the form of better services and a higher level of service. Water Project in Zambia. VandCenter Syd and 3Vand cooperate with Krüger A/S on the provision of technology and know-how. Zambia is experiencing economic growth, and its cities are growing rapidly. It is therefore crucial that the security of supply of water and treatment of wastewater is improved and made significantly more efficient. 2017 WATER IN FIGURES 29 WATER IN FIGURES 2017 DANVA STATISTICS & BENCHMARKING INTRODUCTION Stable water prices that take up a minimal part of household expenses T he water companies act with efficiency and create value for households and industry. This is what is demonstrated in the water sectors indicators and key figures, put together by DANVA in Water in Figures 2017. D WATER PRICE Water prices on the map of Denmark There is an interactive map on DANVAs website: Water prices on the map of Denmark (www.danva.dk/ vandprispaadanmarkskort) with water prices for companies that are subject to the Danish Water Sector Act (Vandsektorloven).

What does the water price co WATER PRICE Composition of water price The price of water can be divided into the price of purification and delivery of clean drinking water, plus the collection, treatment and subsequent discharge of wastewater. Out of the total water price, 18.2 per cent go to the drinking water company, 51.6 per WATER PRICE Reduction of wastewater tariffs for large consumers Based on a growth plan adopted in April 2013, a political decision was made to reduce wastewater payments for large water consumers by DKK 700 million by 2018.
