💶 Europe's water infrastructure doesn't maintain itself. Every year, Europe's water operators invest €52.5 billion to keep drinking water safe and wastewater services protecting our environment. Reliable water services don't happen by chance. eureau.org/wp-content/u...

♻️ What happens after you flush the toilet? Across Europe, wastewater services quietly protect public health and the environment every day. The wastewater sector isn't just protecting today's environment. It's helping build tomorrow's circular, climate-resilient economy. eureau.org/wp-content/u...

🚰 Behind every glass of tap water is an enormous network of infrastructure and expertise working 24/7. Safe drinking water depends on protecting our water resources, investing in resilient infrastructure and supporting the people who keep water flowing every day. eureau.org/wp-content/u...

💧⚡ Water and energy are more connected than many people realise. Europe's water services play an increasingly important role in energy transition. The water utility of tomorrow is becoming a resource recovery and renewable energy hub at the heart of Europe's resilience. eureau.org/wp-content/u...

🚰 Europe's water services are performing well today. But there are increasing pressures on the sector. Maintaining resilient water services requires investment and pollution prevention. Read our new Europe's Water in Figures 2026 report: eureau.org/wp-content/u...

Today's vote in the European Parliament on the implementation of the recast Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) is a disappointing step backwards for Europe's water resilience. eureau.org/news/eureau-...

Simplifying environmental rules is welcome — but not if it weakens protection. Key measures like chemical traceability and water-use transparency are essential to safeguard water resources Simplification must strengthen policy, not dilute it. www.eureau.org/resources/po...

EurEau welcomes the decision of the General Court of the EU to dismiss as inadmissible the lawsuits brought by pharmaceutical and cosmetics companies and associations against the provisions on extended producer responsibility (EPR) in the recast UWWTD www.eureau.org/news/1070-ge...

Europe’s water services rely on secure, reliable and affordable energy to deliver drinking water and wastewater services, protect public health and the environment. Read our briefing note on the criticality of energy security to achieve resilient water services lnkd.in/e_6RURwF

Our paper highlights the strategic role of water services for cohesion, security and climate resilience, and sets out clear recommendations to ensure water services infrastructure is properly supported under the proposed National and Regional Partnership Regulation. www.eureau.org/resources/po...

The Commission’s new Environmental Simplification Package keeps wastewater EPR intact, giving our sector much-needed planning certainty. But key changes risk weakening Europe’s water resilience. www.eureau.org/news/1057-en...

The core principles of the 2025 Water Resilience Strategy risk being eroded before they are even launched. If the @ec.europa.eu is serious about restoring and protecting Europe’s waters, then the reopening of the WFD must be reconsidered. @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu www.eureau.org/news/1055-co...

Europe’s water sector is calling for regulatory stability. Now is not the time to reopen core water legislation. We urge the Commission to focus on implementing the WFD, UWWTD and IED to strengthen water resilience and protect public health. 💧 www.eureau.org/news/1042-sa...

EurEau, COPA COGECA, and IFOAM Organics Europe have co-signed a letter to the President of the European Commission urging the EU to uphold the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme in the recast Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (rUWWTD). www.eureau.org/news/1041-eu...

Today is World Toilet Day - a reminder that safe sanitation protects us from disease, supports security, and helps children stay in school. Yet too many people still lack access to these essential services. Everyone deserves a safe, dignified toilet. #WaterMatters #ToiletsMatter

EurEau welcomes the conclusions on the Water Resilience Strategy (WRS). Member States have chosen to support and reinforce key messages from the WRS. In particular, we are pleased with the Council calls to address and prevent water pollution at the source. www.eureau.org/news/1037-wr...
