The integrated water service
The Integrated Water Service
The Integrated Water Service for the City of Milan captures, purifies and distributes drinking water, as well as collects sewage and coordinates its treatment before releasing it into the environment.
The Milan Municipality has established the Service in 1999 and in June 2003 entrusted it to Metropolitana Milanese s.p.a. which will manage it until 2027. Apart from managing the Milan Integrated Water Service, Metropolitana Milanese also plans, designs and supervises the construction of new networks and plants and is responsible for the maintenance of the existing ones.
