We get our tap water from our ground water resources and, therefore, it is essential that we take care of these resources before they run out. At Aarhus Vand, we are doing everything we can to ensure that our resources will last for many decades to come.

We have reopened the cased Aarhus River so that people are once again able to enjoy the open water areas in the centre of Aarhus. The opening of the river is also an important part of Aarhus Vand’s project about flood prevention and preventing wastewater from overflowing into lakes, streams and bay.

Up to 10,000 households’ washing machines and toilets in the suburb Nye – near the city of Aarhus - will soon use rainwater instead of drinking water. This is estimated to cut water consumption by as much as 40 percent.

Water managers often lack coherent and updated information that clarifies the complex water system interactions to a degree where vital correlations and dependencies are known and understood.

Truelsbjerg Waterworks in the northern part of Aarhus sets new technological, architectural and operational standards for waterworks. It has started a trend in new design that has inspired several water utilities in Denmark.

At Aaby and Marselisborg Wastewater Treatment Plants we have extracted phosphorus from the wastewater. Over a decade this has been sold as a valuable fertiliser under the name PhosphorCare.
