This extensive work is made possible thanks to the partnerships that Eau de Paris maintains with other players in the world of water. Whether it concerns the territories crossed, local associations or even other French and European public authorities, this work is carried out in a network in the name of the general interest.
To contribute to exchanges and discussions around public water management policies, Eau de Paris sits on water bodies, at national and local level and at the scale of the Seine-Normandy basin.
The Chairman of Eau de Paris is also a member of the National Water Committee, the Basin Committee and the Board of Directors of the Seine-Normandy Water Agency.
For a committed and sustainable approach to water management
From source to tap, Eau de Paris promotes a common vision of sustainable water services with major Ile-de-France communities and supports associations. It carries out concrete actions:
- sustainable protection of water resources and the natural environment
- the creation of local partnerships to forge lasting links with all the actors of the territories
- the preservation and enhancement of the natural and industrial heritage
- the promotion of tap water consumption, with the general public and disadvantaged people who have more difficulty accessing information
- raising awareness of good control of water consumption
- advice to reduce the water bill of families in financial difficulty
For a public and efficient water management model
While water use conditions differ from city to city and country to country, a movement in favor of public management is currently gaining momentum all over the world.
Eau de Paris fully participates in this dynamic by offering an efficient, sustainable model that guarantees access to water for everyone, in the best conditions.
