History
The company was created in 2008 after a ballot initiative from then Mayor Bertrand Delanoë. The city's water was then substantially managed by two private companies (Veolia and Suez) which the municipal government bought out.[1]
Operations
The company distributes 563,000 m³ of drinking water a day.[2] In 2010 the company began installing drinking fountains dispensing fizzy water in the city.[3]
