Programme Highlights

In December 2003, Veolia and Shenzhen Water Group signed a major contract for municipal outsourcing services with the city of Shenzhen, located on the border with Hong Kong and one of China's most important business hubs. Under this 50‐year contract, Veolia and Shenzhen Water Group are responsible for the production and distribution of water, customer relations, and the collection and treatment of wastewater.

In 2004, the contract covered the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone (China's first SEZ) and served 2.8 million people. As the Zone expanded over the years, Veolia and Shenzhen Water Group now serve up to 10.6 million people in Shenzhen, with the district area covering 95% of the urban sector with production capacity around 5.7 million m3 per day. Upgrades were made to water treatment plants, including Bijiashan adding ozonation and activated carbon to improve drinking water quality. The participants will visit the Bijiashan drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) followed by a presentation of the overall project.
