Water as a Service (WaaS) is an innovative water subscription service that provides a comprehensive solution for customized water treatment and management. Under the WaaS model, customers pay for the amount of water treated rather than investing in water treatment equipment and infrastructure themselves. This approach offers several benefits and ensures optimum water management.
At Veolia Water Technologies, we will work closely with you to improve your water management while reducing capital expenditure. WaaS offers a convenient and cost-effective way for businesses that need a reliable source of process water for their production processes while reducing costs and promoting sustainable water management.
By opting for WaaS, you gain peace of mind through always having access to high-quality water, coupled with preventive maintenance and the reduction of operating risks, via a monthly or annual subscription that guarantees your financial control.
You only pay for the amount of water treated and so this pay-as-you-go model allows for better financial flexibility and can be tailored to your specific needs.
What's more, our solutions are flexible and can adapt to your changing needs. WaaS means you can concentrate on your core business, while being assured of a reliable, high-quality water source.
