MISSION

Centuries old aqueducts, sprawling piping system network, state-of-the-art water treatment plant … hydraulics installations that Eau de Paris manages for the City of Paris are historical, efficient and exceptional.

Overall valued at 10 billion Euros, this great heritage must constantly be maintained, renewed, developed, to keep the highest level of efficiency.

Aqueducts
