  • sanitation and public health;  
  • adaptability to consumers’ requirements;  
  • accessibility for consumers;  
  • equal access to public services, subject to contractual terms;  
  • environmental protection and preservation;  
  • cost-effective and quality service management, by:  
    • reducing commercial losses, by identifying clandestine users and ensuring meter operation;  
    • optimising the ratio between withdrawn, distributed and billed water volumes;  
    • observing the preventive maintenance schedule for the water and sewerage networks;  
    • promptly carrying out necessary intervention works on the water and sewerage networks.

The implementation of the new “Veolia One” IT system allows clients to register in the database from first contact – approval request – up to the conclusion of the services contract. Registration and claim resolution functionalities have helped improve the efficiency and volume of customer relations.  

 

The metering rate is 100% in all municipalities where VRSI is the operator of the water supply and sewerage network, i.e. Otopeni, Chitila and Popești-Leordeni in Ilfov County.
