REWAG secures water supply deal with Donaustauf under fresh concession contract
In a move that ensures the continued reliability of essential services for the community of Donaustauf, the regional utility company REWAG has renewed its concession contract with the municipality. This agreement, which was accepted by the municipal council on April 3, 2025, pertains to the supply of water and gas.
REWAG's involvement in Donaustauf dates back to 2005, when the market first renewed its concession contract with the utility company. Over the years, REWAG has demonstrated its commitment to the community by investing in the local pipeline network and taking over the gas supply for the clinic in 2024.
Notable investments by REWAG include flood protection for water abstraction facilities, development of new water abstraction areas, and partnerships with adjacent water suppliers. These investments are part of REWAG's climate adaptation strategy, benefiting Donaustauf in the long run.
The concession fees paid by REWAG to Donaustauf serve as a source of revenue for the municipality, which can be reinvested in local infrastructure or services. The exact amounts are typically detailed in the contract but commonly range from several thousand to tens of thousands of euros annually.
REWAG CEO Dr. Robert Greb and Donaustauf Mayor Jürgen Sommer were satisfied at the contract signing, with Jürgen Sommer emphasizing REWAG's role in ensuring the security of the community and taking responsibility for the region beyond that.
The new concession contract will be effective from October 1, 2025. The ongoing partnership between REWAG and Donaustauf has proven to be effective, particularly in the field of drinking water, ensuring that the market of Donaustauf can continue to rely on a consistently reliable supply of healthy drinking water.
Other industries, such as finance and energy, might take note of REWAG's long-term business partnership with Donaustauf, given the utility company's extensive investments and commitment to the community's infrastructure. In light of the concession contract renewal for water and gas supply, REWAG's expanded role in other critical services, like flood protection and water abstraction, could attract potential business collaborations in these sectors.
