The VWW Verbund-Wasserwerk Witten GmbH is a joint subsidiary of Stadtwerke Witten GmbH and AVU Aktiengesellschaft für Versorgungs-Unternehmen, Gevelsberg. Founded in 1989, the company is responsible for the drinking water supply of the city of Witten and also supplies drinking water to AVU.
The main mission of VWW is to ensure a safe and high-quality drinking water supply. This is achieved through strict quality management and close cooperation with the responsible authorities. The company's values include the security of the water supply, environmental protection and adherence to high quality standards.
VWW is committed to protecting water bodies and using water resources sustainably. Environmental protection is promoted through cooperation with institutions such as the Ruhrverband and the Landwirtschaftskammer NRW. The company is also a member of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Wasserwerke an der Ruhr (AWWR), which is committed to ensuring drinking water extraction on the Ruhr.
The Witten waterworks has a state-of-the-art ultrafiltration system that has been in operation since 2018 and filters even the smallest organisms such as bacteria and viruses from the water. This technology ensures a high purity of the drinking water and contributes to the security of the water supply.
