Lviv City Communal Enterprise “Lvivvodokanal” is a municipally owned utility company providing water supply and sewerage services to residents and enterprises within Lviv Territorial Community. The Company operates 2270 km of water networks, water treatment facilities and 17 water intakes located at distances of 10 to 105 km from the City. The city’s water supply comes from 7 directions around Lviv, ranging from 20 to 100 km in length, namely from 190 underground wells. This means all the water inflowing to Lviv is of good quality underground sources. However, treatment is needed for the iron, manganese, gases (hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide), and hardness. Additionally, the enterprise’s water supply facilities were built in the 50s and 60s of the 20th century and are currently in poor technical state, are worn-out and obsolete.
