The municipalities in the Offenbach district are responsible for supplying the population and businesses with drinking water; However, they do not operate their own water extraction or water treatment plants, as all drinking water is obtained from the Water Supply Association for the City and District of Offenbach (ZWO).
The water supply association for the city and district of Offenbach (ZWO) is a joint venture between the city and district of Offenbach in the form of a municipal special purpose association in accordance with the law on municipal joint work.
The task of the association, which was founded on October 18, 1965, is the procurement of water, water extraction, treatment and distribution, including the construction and operation of water extraction and distribution systems. The special purpose association can undertake work on local distribution networks as well as operational and management tasks for a fee. In addition, the special-purpose association can carry out other tasks in the area of water supply and wastewater disposal, provided that these tasks are assigned to it by a member of the association.
The supply area includes the city of Offenbach and the cities and municipalities of the Offenbach district. The districts of Steinheim and Klein-Auheim in the city of Hanau and the group waterworks association Dieburg (ZVG) for the municipality of Messel in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district are also supplied.
The association meeting and board set the framework within which the managing director, Mr. Bernd Petermann, works with the employees to ensure that the water supplied is of the highest quality and in sufficient quantities, so that interruptions in supply do not even occur the water supply is secured in the future.
