The Wasserversorgungs-Zweckverband Maifeld-Eifel (WVZ Maifeld-Eifel) is a municipal special-purpose association that ensures the safe and reliable drinking water supply in a large area in Rheinland-Pfalz.[2][3] As a non-profit company without profit motive, it supplies around 300,000 inhabitants in the districts of Ahrweiler and Mayen-Koblenz as well as in the municipalities of Brohltal, Maifeld, Vordereifel, Pellenz, Rhein-Mosel and Kelberg.[2][4]
The main task of the WVZ is the supply of high-quality drinking water. For this purpose, the association operates a modern water plant in its own operation, which is managed according to strict regulations of the Eigenbetriebs- und Anstaltsverordnung.[2][5] The own operation comprises a commercial and a technical area with specialist departments at the offices in .[5][9]
Key activities:
The association acts as an economic enterprise without its own legal capacity, which works efficiently and cost-neutrally.[2]
The WVZ is managed according to the state law on municipal cooperation. Bodies are the association assembly (decides on statutes, economic plans and annual financial statements), the works committee (for principles of economic management) as well as the association chairman and the plant management.[2] At least half of the association assembly consists of district council or municipal council members, which ensures a strong municipal anchoring.[2]
The mission of the WVZ is the permanent securing of the drinking water supply in the supply area - reliable, high quality and customer-oriented.[2][3] Core values include ethics, transparency and efficient administration. The association emphasizes sustainability, security of supply and customer satisfaction, as can be seen in the energy policy and training measures (e.g. environmental technologist for water supply).[4][8]
Sustainability is at the center of the work: The WVZ participates in the Benchmarking Water Management Rheinland-Pfalz, a systematic comparison with other suppliers to optimize technical performance, economy and efficiency.[8] Goals are:
Further initiatives include energy policy, environmental protection measures (e.g. training in environmental technology) and continuous improvements such as the renovation of plants to minimize chemicals.[4][8] Through benchmarking, the association brings best practices across the board, regardless of company size.[8]
The WVZ is involved in further education (e.g. environmental technician training), visits and press work to promote transparency.[4] Current projects such as the renovation of the Weibern water plant (as of 2024/2025) demonstrate the focus on modern, environmentally friendly technologies.[4] As a reliable partner in the region, the association makes a significant contribution to the quality of life - with high reliability, innovation and responsibility for people and the environment.[2][8]
