OOWV Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband

The Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischer Wasserverband (OOWV) is a significant partner for water supply and wastewater disposal in the northwest of Lower Saxony. As a public law corporation, the OOWV operates cost-covering and non-profit, with surpluses invested in optimizing operational processes and technical facilities.

• Drinking Water Supply: The OOWV supplies over one million people with drinking water, which is processed in 15 waterworks. The supply area covers 7,457 km² and includes large parts of the former Land of Oldenburg as well as the districts of Aurich and Wittmund[3].
• Wastewater Disposal: The association operates 46 treatment plants and over 23,000 small treatment plants to purify wastewater and return it to the natural water cycle[3].

The main mission of the OOWV is to ensure a reliable and sustainable water supply as well as wastewater disposal. The association places great importance on bundling the interests of its members and promoting economic solutions that benefit all parties involved.

The OOWV is actively committed to the sustainable protection of groundwater and water bodies. This includes investments in modern technology and the promotion of ecological agriculture to reduce the use of chemical pesticides[5]. In addition, the association is engaged in international partnerships to contribute to stability and development in other regions.

The OOWV continuously invests in the modernization of its infrastructure. An example of this is the construction of a new operational facility in Aurich, which will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology and sustainable solutions. These investments help to further improve the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the services.
