What we do
Waternet works for the municipality of Amsterdam and Regional Public Water Authority Amstel, Gooi and Vecht. We provide a safe, clean and sufficient supply of water. This includes water for nature areas and human consumption. As our area lies below sea water level, we must ensure that its 1.3 million inhabitants are protected by our dykes.

- We treat tap water to ensure a clean water supply and we maintain the tap water pipes.
- We treat sewage water and maintain the sewage system.
- We ensure that the groundwater in Amsterdam is kept at the right level.
