//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 5 INTRODUCTION

This report provides a statistical overview of the drinking water sector in Flanders, from source to tap.

With this report the WaterRegulator (the Flemish water regulator) aims to paint a clear picture of the drinking water sector in Flanders, by means of figures and statistics, in order to contribute to better transparency. The purpose of this document is to provide the reader with clear information about the production and the distribution of drinking water in Flanders.

Each year the WaterRegulator aims to further refine and complete the provided information, without wanting to be ‘complete’ for all aspects of the water chain. For example, only a limited amount of information about drinking water quality and waste water treatment is included in this document. On this, more detailed information can be found in other VMM (Flemish Environment Agency) reports which are specifically devoted to these subjects. They can be consulted at www.vmm.be.

Unless stated otherwise, the information in this report relates to the situation that was current on 1 January 2014. The calculations in the tables were made using the most detailed figures available. In order to make the document more readable, the numbers are given a maximum of two decimal places. As a result, some rounding errors may occur. A glossary is included at the end of this document.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 6 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY IN FLANDERS ORGANISATION OF THE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY IN FLANDERS

The drinking water supply in Flanders is a municipal responsibility. In order to provide a better service, many municipalities have formed different alliances for the production and the distribution of mains water. Since every municipality (and therefore every alliance) has many different options for organising its drinking water supply, a vast diversity has come about in the management of the public water distribution network, investment planning and service provision. The level of input of the participating municipalities in the alliances also varies strongly. On 1 January 2014 the public water distribution network is managed by 10 operators1 (hereinafter also referred to as water companies). Flanders counts 308 municipalities. In 26 of them two water companies are active in the same municipality. A list with contact details of all operators is to be found in Appendix 3 of this report. Appendix 4 contains an overview of the municipalities distributed per water company.

1 As of 1 January 2015, the activities carried out by IWM will be taken over by De Watergroep. Hence, commencing 1 January 2015, Flanders will count 9 operators. AWW pushed through a name change in 2014 and became Water-link.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 7 LEGAL FORM OF WATER COMPANIES

In Flanders mains water is mostly supplied by intermunicipal alliances, intermunicipal companies and one autonomous Flemish public utility company. Additionally, there is still one municipal water company and one foreign water company active in 2014. The water sector is entirely in public hands on 1 January 2014.

Intermunicipal alliances

The legal foundations of the intermunicipal alliances were laid in accordance with the Decree concerning Intermunicipal Cooperation. More precisely, intermunicipal alliances are mandated associations: alliances with conferral of management. For that reason the participating municipalities must entrust the implementation of one or more clearly defined competences concerning one or more coherent functional policy areas to the alliance. In such an alliance only municipalities can be active, together with provinces, autonomous municipal companies, public social welfare centres and their associations, stipulated that they consist exclusively of legal persons in public law. Other alliances, set up according to the provisions of the Decree concerning Intermunicipal Cooperation, may also be involved. Mandated associations are under administrative supervision. More specifically, establishments and statute amendments are submitted to approbation supervision by the Flemish government (with delegation to the Flemish minister for internal affairs). The associations have the obligation to forward a concise overview of the resolutions reached to the supervisory authority.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 8 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures Intermunicipal companies

The legal foundations of the intermunicipal companies were laid in accordance with the Law of 22 December 1986 concerning intermunicipal companies. The provisions of the decree mentioned in the previous paragraph do not apply to these organisations. Indeed, it is explicitly stipulated that the decree only applies to intermunicipal alliances ‘which entire jurisdiction falls within the borders of the Flemish Region’. This is not the case for TMVW and VIVAQUA. However, at the end of 2013, the Flemish government approved a proposal for a cooperation agreement with other regions concerning supervision of interregional intermunicipal companies. Thus, based on this agreement, TMVW and VIVAQUA will be submitted to Flemish administrative supervision and administrative supervision respectively. FARYS is a cooperative company with limited liability which was established on 26 June 2014 and which acts as the operator of TMVW. Besides TMVW, both the Algemeen Ziekenhuis Jan Palfijn Gent (General Hospital Jan Palfijn Ghent) and the private limited liability company Solar Invest are also shareholders of FARYS.

Autonomous Flemish public utility company

The legal foundations of De Watergroep – an autonomous Flemish public utility company and the largest active water company in Flanders – were laid in accordance with its Establishment Decree: the Decree of 28 June 1983 concerning the Establishment of VMW. VMW’s commercial name was changed into De Watergroep on 1 January 2013.

Municipal water companies (GW)

On 1 January 2014, there is only one municipal water company that is still active: the water company of Knokke-Heist. Note that it has been part of the Autonomous Municipal Company for City Development of Knokke-Heist (hereinafter referred to as AGSO Knokke-Heist) since 2012.

Public limited company under Dutch law

In the Flemish municipality of Baarle-Hertog, the Dutch water company Brabant Water supplies mains water to a part of the Flemish population. Brabant Water is a public limited company, evidently operating under Dutch law.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 9 ALLIANCES BETWEEN WATER COMPANIES

ISWA

ISWa, or the Intermunicipal Cooperation Committee for Water Companies, was established in 1992. It was set up by IWVA and the Vereniging Limburgse Waterbedrijven (Association of Water Companies of Limburg), which consists of IWM, GW Tongeren, GW Heusden-Zolder and GW Leopoldsburg. Later on, other municipal water companies (GW) and city water companies (SW) also joined the alliance (e.g. SW Ieper, SW Oudenaarde, GW Knokke-Heist, etc.). ISWa provides a platform for consultation and directs concrete cooperation between the members in certain areas. On 1 January 2014, IWM and AGSO Knokke-Heist are the only ISWa members who are still active as operators. On 1 January 2015 IWM will be included in De Watergroep, and ISWa will put its activities to a stop.

SYNDUCTIS

Synductis is an alliance between FARYS/TMVW, IWVB and IWVA and Eandis (Flemish operator for the distribution of electricity and natural gas) established in 2012. The Proximus/Belgacom Group (Belgium’s largest telecom company) acts as an observing partner in this cooperation. The main goal of Synductis is to better plan utility work and to better coordinate the execution of it.

COORDINATING STRUCTURES

BELGAQUA

Belgaqua is the Belgian Federation of the Water Sector. This professional association groups together all three regional associations of the water sector in Belgium. It consists of AQUABRU, AQUAWAL and AquaFlanders, respectively active in the Brussels Capital Region, Walloon Region and Flemish Region.

Belgaqua defends the common interests of its members on a federal, European and international level. The federation stimulates the conduction of studies and provides information to both users and professionals about the use of mains water and the protection of water quality. Belgaqua also inspects the apparatus connected to the public water distribution network and the materials that come into contact with the drinking water

AQUAFLANDERS

AquaFlanders is the umbrella organisation that unites all the Flemish water companies. By employing a more goal-oriented cooperation approach, the organisation aims to improve transparency, increase efficiency and obtain more uniformity in both the customer approach and the working methods employed. Furthermore, AquaFlanders wants to contribute to a more effective implementation of the water policy by acting as a representative of its members at various forums.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 10 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures OTHER ACTIVITIES

Besides the service provision related to drinking water production and distribution via the public water distribution network, the water companies also provide other services. For example, a number of water companies, whether or not legally separated from the water entity, offer specific services for industrial companies (e.g. supply of ‘customised’ water, water audits, optimisation of internal water flows, reuse of waste water within the production process, etc.).

Since 2005, all water companies are legally obligated to treat the water they distribute. Consequently, they do not only produce and distribute drinking water, they must also ensure that the waste water of their customers is purified so that the quality of the drinking water remains guaranteed (waste water treatment activity).

In addition, a number of companies also conduct activities that are non-water related (other activities). For instance, the water company of Knokke-Heist is part of AGSO Knokke-Heist, which also conducts real estate transactions, executes city development projects and implements the policy on land and premises that especially focuses on the construction of affordable housing. FARYS/TMVW presents itself as a partner of its municipal associates, by, among other things, managing swimming and sports facilities and offering framework agreements for the purchase, maintenance, operation and management of services (e.g. repair service etc.) and goods (e.g. stationery, road salt, telecoms, etc.).

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK FOR THE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY

LOCAL AUTHORITIES

The drinking water supply in Flanders is a municipal responsibility. In practice, this responsibility is generally carried out by intermunicipal alliances. The municipal associates run these alliances through their representatives in the dedicated governing bodies (Management Board, General Meeting, specific committees, etc.).

PROVINCIAL AUTHORITIES

The Flemish provinces do not have any competences concerning drinking water. However, some do participate in intermunicipal alliances responsible for the mains water production and distribution (e.g. Provincial Authority of Antwerp is an associate of Pidpa aka the Provincial and Intermunicipal Drinking Water Company of the Province of Antwerp).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 11 REGIONAL GOVERNMENT (FLEMISH REGION)

Guaranteeing quantity and quality of drinking water

In application of the Groundwater Decree, protection zones have been indicated around groundwater collection sites for the benefit of drinking water production. Within these protection zones, activities that could pollute the groundwater are banned or restricted.

The Supervisory Official (organised within VMM) develops and supervises the Drinking Water Decree and the ensuing Acts and public service obligations. This form of supervision mainly concerns the quality of the water supplied, as well as the application of the General Water Sale Regulations.

Guaranteeing transparency and efficiency of water companies

The Flemish water regulator, known as the WaterRegulator (organised within VMM) focusses on increasing transparency regarding drinking water production and distribution in Flanders. The WaterRegulator also compares the performance and efficiency of the Flemish water companies in order to ensure that drinking water is supplied at a fair price. In addition, the WaterRegulator also conducts studies. Based on the results the regulator advises the Flemish government through the Flemish minister for environment.

Administrative supervision

Administrative supervision of intermunicipal alliances takes place under direction of the Flemish minister for internal affairs.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT (BELGIUM)

On 1 July 2014, in the framework of the sixth state reform, the competence for tariff regulation of drinking water was transferred from federal level (Belgium) to regional level (Flanders).

EUROPEAN GOVERNMENT

The Drinking Water Directive imposes standards on drinking water quality. The European Water Framework Directive (WFD), among other things, establishes the principles relating to the cost allocation for water services, including production and distribution. For the greater part, these principles have already been converted to Flemish regulation.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 12 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures DISTRIBUTION AREAS AND INFRASTRUCTURE OF WATER COMPANIES EVOLUTION OF THE NUMBER OF WATER COMPANIES

The number of water companies is on the downgrade while the larger companies keep on growing. In real terms, this means that both the municipal and city water companies are disappearing and that their activities are being taken over by the larger companies. In 1998 a total number of 14 water companies, both municipal and city water companies, were active in Flanders. By 2010 their number had fallen to 4. On 1 January 2014 only one municipal water company is still active (in Knokke-Heist). As of 1 January 2015 the activities carried out by IWM will be taken over by The Watergroep. Hence, commencing 1 January 2015, Flanders will count 9 operators.

In Table 3, the specifications of the distribution areas are compared with each other. The distribution areas of the three largest companies (De Watergroep, Pidpa and FARYS/TMVW) gathered together extend over an area that covers more than 90% of the Flemish territory. Together, these three water companies are responsible for the drinking water supply for more than 80% of the Flemish population.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 14 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures INFRASTRUCTURE OF DRINKING WATER SUPPLY

Table 4 provides an overview of the infrastructure for the production and distribution of mains water per water company. Evidently, due to the different nature of the distribution areas, also the infrastructure of water companies differs. For example, whilst their distribution areas are similar in size, there is a big difference between the infrastructure of Pidpa and the infrastructure of FARYS/TMVW. Pidpa has sufficient groundwater sources in its disposal within its own distribution area. The company is therefore able to produce drinking water in a decentralised way by means of 12 water production centres. By contrast, FARYS/TMVW mainly purchases its water from external suppliers in order to meet the demand of its area. The company merely has 2 small water production centres at its disposal.

Water-link and De Watergroep are the only water companies that use surface water sources for the production of drinking water. IWVB is the sole water company that does not have any sources at its disposal in its distribution area. All the water delivered by IWVB to subscribers is purchased from other water companies.

The available water storage capacity of water storage facilities and water towers in Flanders is 984 million m3. This is a bit more (104%) than the calculated daily amount of distributed water3 (944 million m3/ per day).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 15 EFFORTS FOR SUSTAINABLE WATER USE

Since mid-2011, water companies are obliged to apply the provisions of the General Water Sale Regulations. For example, by means of actions and campaigns, water companies must raise awareness about sustainable water use and promote it to their customers. In doing so, they must pay particular attention to vulnerable groups. In 2013, many actions were realised. Some of them are mentioned below.

First and foremost, to a greater or lesser extent, all companies pay attention to sustainable water use on their website. Many of them also have different publications concerning the subject. De Watergroep even raises awareness through articles on rational water use in its customer magazine ‘Waterwereld’ (‘Water World’). During Summer, the company even spreads information specifically devoted to sustainable water use through mail-outs to all its associates.

Besides that, two water companies established their own education centre: the visitor centre of IWVA in Koksijde and the interactive Water-DO-Centre ‘Hidrodoe’ of Pidpa in Herentals. In both centres, the theme ‘sustainable water use’ is emphasized.

In addition, in order to promote sustainable water use during many events all over Flanders, De Watergroep and FARYS/TMVW set up water bars providing participants with free tap water. FARYS/TMVW also organises projects specifically for the underprivileged.

On sector level, AquaFlanders cooperates with non-profit organisation GoodPlanet Belgium for the establishment of the campaign ‘Kranig Water4’. The campaign is devised to encourage pupils of primary and secondary schools to drink tap water and to use water in a sustainable way. They are also taught that by reducing packaging waste, they reduce CO2 emissions. Schools cannot only participate in the campaign, they can also take part in the related competition, in which different schools compete for the title of ‘Kranigste School’5.

4 Kranig Water’ is a pun: ‘kranig’ literally means ‘brave’, but also refers to ‘kraan’, which is the Dutch word for ‘tap’. 5 This is again a pun: ‘kranigste’ means ‘bravest’ and also refers to ‘kraan’, the Dutch word for ‘tap’.

DRINKING WATER CHAIN FROM SOURCE TO TAP

The drinking water chain consists of two consecutive main processes: the production and the distribution/ supply of drinking water. An abridged schematic representation is shown in Figure 3.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 17 WATER PRODUCTION

In 2013, the water companies in Flanders produced more than 400 million m3 of drinking water. 80% of the drinking water produced for Flanders is also being produced in Flanders. The remaining 20% is being produced outside Flemish territory and is nearly all (18%) being purchased by Flemish water companies. FARYS/TMVW is the only Flemish water company that collects and produces water outside of Flanders (Wallonia). More specifi cally, they collect and produce 9 million m3 or 2% of the drinking water produced for Flanders, in Wallonia.

By the end of 2011, De Watergroep handed over its water collection sites located in Wallonia to the Walloon water company SWDE. Therefore, as of 2012, a little over 6% of the drinking water produced for Flanders is being produced by SWDE and consequently purchased from SWDE by De Watergroep.

VIVAQUA, a water company from Brussels, produces 12% of the drinking water produced for Flanders. The major part is sold to other Flemish water companies. The minor part is distributed in Flanders by the company itself. VIVAQUA collects and produces nearly all its water in Wallonia. In Flanders, more specifi cally in , the company only has one small water collection site and one water production facility, where they produce around 188,000 m3 water a year. Less than 1% of the Flemish drinking water originates from The Netherlands and France. At their turn, the Flemish water companies also sell drinking water to water companies in Wallonia and The Netherlands (about 8 million m3 per year).

In Flanders, a little more drinking water is produced from surface water rather than groundwater. The drinking water purchased outside of Flanders is mainly produced from groundwater. More information about water quantities can be found in the VMM report ‘Leidingwaterbalans voor Vlaanderen2013’6 (‘Mains Water Balance for Flanders 2013’).

VIVAQUA plays a double part: on the one hand it is the operator of a public distribution network for subscribers in four municipalities (Kraainem, , and Wezembeel-Oppem) and on the other hand it is the supplier of water to other water companies (mainly FARYS/TMVW and IWVB). Table 5 shows that VIVAQUA produces 12% of the water produced for Flanders while it only supplies 1% of it directly to subscribers.

Density of the network

In Table 6 a few key figures about the water supply per water company are admitted. The connection density of a public water distribution network is closely linked to the urban or more rural character of a distribution area. A higher population density and a higher degree of urbanisation leads to a higher connection density.

In 2013, an average of 5,600 litres of water is invoiced per meter pipeline in Flanders. Water-link has the most concentrated network with 73 subscribers (i.e. active water meters) per km pipeline. With 40 subscribers per km, De Watergroep has the lowest connection density. Water-link bills more than 37,000 litres of water per meter pipeline. That is almost ten times more than De Watergroep and IWVA: on average, they invoice only 4,000 litres of water per meter pipeline. The difference between the density per connection and the density per subscriber indicates a significant presence of apartment blocks in the distribution area. This difference is strikingly higher in the IWVA area (coastal area) and also, but to a lesser extent, in the IWVB and Water-link areas (mainly urban environments).

Figure 8 shows the evolution of the water consumption invoiced by water companies in Flanders between 2003 and 2013. The trend is falling. Over 10 years’ time, the invoiced mains water consumption decreased by 6%. Compared to 2012 the invoiced consumption decreased by 1%.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 25 Customer profiles

For the distribution of mains water to the three target groups7 defined in the WFD or European Water Framework Directive (households, industry, and agriculture) there are hardly any separate networks. Therefore the quality of the water distributed through the public water distribution network is usually irrespective of the target group to which the user belongs, and always meets the standards.

Still, based on the final use of the supplied mains water – i.e. whether the water is used for domestic activities (families), industrial activities (in the context of professional activities, excluding agriculture) or agricultural activities – the subscribers can be assigned to one of the target groups mentioned above.

By crossing parameters from different databases, the majority of subscribers (86%) can be assigned to one of these target groups with a relatively high degree of certainty. Subscribers that cannot be assigned are referred to as ‘remaining group’ in Figure 9.

Even though the number of residents in Flanders increased by 4% between January 2009 and January 2014, the mains water consumption of the families has remained relatively stable (around 190 million m3 per year). This means that the consumption per resident is decreasing. In 2013, the invoiced water consumption of the industry is just under 135 million m3. The decrease of the total invoiced water consumption can mainly be attributed to the decrease of the water consumption of the industry.

7 The definitions of the target groups are to be found in the glossary at the end of this report.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 26 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures Almost 80% of the subscribers are households and they account for more than half (56%) of the invoiced mains water in 2013. The industry represents a mere 7% of the total number of subscribers but accounts for 38% of the total water consumption. The agricultural sector is a very small group for it represents only 1% of the subscribers, and uses around 2% of the mains water supplied.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 27 Consumption profiles

In Table 7 the invoiced water consumption of subscribers that could be assigned to a target group (households, industry, agriculture) is more thoroughly analysed. First, based on the invoice period and the invoiced water consumption in 2013, the annual mains water consumption is calculated for each subscriber. Then, all subscribers and their respective invoiced water consumption are assigned to the corresponding annual consumption blocks. It comes to show that more than 75% of all subscribers have an invoiced water consumption that is less than 100 m3 per year. Undeniably, the households make up the largest part of that 75%. They are practically fully responsible for the water consumption below 100 m3 per subscriber. Taking a more detailed look at this group reveals that the majority (25%) has an annual mains water consumption between 50 and 100 m3. Another 16% uses between 25 m3 and 50 m3 water per year. About 12% has a water invoice for less than 15 m3 per year, of which 6% concerns ‘no water consumption or negative water consumption8’. Taking a deeper look into the industry group specifically, it can be concluded that, compared to all annual consumption blocks, there is significantly more water consumption in the blocks between 1,000 m3 and 6,000 m3. However, it is even more striking that the actual high industrial consumption is mainly to be found in the blocks above 100,000 m3. Besides that, it seems that a very limited number of subscribers (0.004%), accounts for almost 21% of the total mains water consumption.

The graph drawn up in Figure 11 shows the relation between the total number of subscribers and the total invoiced water consumption in Flanders. In Figure 12 the same kind of graphs are drawn up, this time per water company. It is remarkable that 77% of all subscribers uses less than 100 m3 of water per year, whilst this group represents only 26% of the total invoiced water consumption. Contrary to that, a very small group of 0.07% is responsible for 30% of the total invoiced water consumption.

At AGSO Knokke-Heist, FARYS/TMVW, De Watergroep West-Flanders and IWVA the share of ‘less than 100 m3 users’ is even higher than 80%, and at IWVA this goes up to 88% of the subscribers. The large number of secondary residences in the coastal area undeniably plays a part in this.

Water-link is quite an outsider compared to the other water companies. In the Water-link area, only 58% of the subscribers has a water consumption that is lower than 100 m3. Only at Brabant Water (a Dutch water company active in one Flemish municipality) this percentage is lower (56%). The ‘over 6,000 m3’ consumption is clearly concentrated at Water-link, which invoices 67% of the mains water consumption in its distribution area to 0.24% of its subscribers. Likewise, De Watergroep West-Vlaanderen has an important number of major consumers among its subscribers and invoices 30% of the consumption in its distribution area to 0.06% of its subscribers.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 31 Calculated average consumption of different family types

The calculation of the typical annual mains water consumption of families is based on the 2013 final invoices of water companies to subscribers with domiciled residents with an invoice period of 10 to 14 months. However, note that the number of residing family members does not necessarily corresponds with the number of domiciled residents. Think of reconstituted families for example.

A calculated average family in Flanders consist of 2.33 persons in 2013. This average family has a calculated mains water consumption of 84 m3 per year or 99 litres per person per day. This theoretical average family the family type used for the price calculations in this report. Appendix 5 includes a more detailed overview of the calculated average consumption per family situation in different provinces and per water company.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 32 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures In Flanders, reduction in family size has been going on for years. The number of persons in an average family has decreased by 3% over 10 years’ time (from 2.40 persons per family to 2.33 persons per family). However, the number of families did increase by 9% during the same period. In 2014, one- and two-person families account for 65% (31% + 34% respectively) of the total number of families in Flanders. Three- and four-person families make up 15% and 14% respectively. Families consisting of five persons and more represent only 5% and 1%9 respectively. In Appendix 6 an overview of the distribution of different family types over the different water companies is included.

Evidently, these trends are reflected in the evolution of the number of subscribers. One- and two-person families represent almost half of all subscribers (20% + 28% respectively) The three-, four- and five-person families gathered together make up nearly 30% (13% + 12% + 4%). Large families with six or more domiciled residents account for less than 3% of the number of subscribers. Subscribers without domiciled residents have a share of 21%. The small families also have the sharpest rise in the number subscribers. Over the last five years their total number has increased by 11% (one-person families) and 5% (two-person families) respectively. The share of the one-person families in the invoiced consumption has increased by 4.2%. Note that the number of one-person families increased by 11%.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 33 DRINKING WATER QUALITY

Drinking water is water intended for human consumption and is therefore safe and healthy to drink. The Government Act of 13 December 2002 provides the legal framework to guarantee the quality of drinking water. The government act lays down the minimum quality requirements for drinking water and governs the organisation of minimum checks on the production and distribution of drinking water. The water companies are responsible for conducting these legally obliged checks. Every year they need to draw up a monitoring schedule that has to be approved by VMM.

The monitoring of the drinking water quality is organised by delivery area. A delivery area is a geographically defined area in which the supplied water is of a more or less uniform quality and originates from one or a few sources. In Flanders approximately 90 different delivery areas have been demarcated.

In Flanders, the mains water must meet the quality requirements at the point in the distribution network where it becomes available to the customer. In other words: at the tap. In practice, sampling is done at the kitchen tap in homes or public buildings. The drinking water company is responsible for the water that flows through the public water distribution network up to the water meter. The proper functioning of the indoor water system is the responsibility of the owner of the building or the house.

Figure 13. Quality of the drinking water in the public water distribution network in Flanders (2013)

Source: VMM

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 34 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures Figure 13 shows the quality of the supplied water per delivery area. For the health-related parameters, the annual median value of each parameter was determined. This median value was compared with the drinking water standards. In most of the delivery areas that were assessed, more specifically in 88%, the median for all health parameters was below 50% of the standard value. For the chemical parameters of arsenic, benzo(a) pyrene, bromate, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite and total trihalomethanes, the signal value of 50 % of the standard value was exceeded in a limited number of delivery areas.

QUALITY IN THE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

Besides legally obliged checks at the customer’s tap, water companies also carry out additional checks at the water production centre or at important storage facilities. Unlike those at the tap, the results of these operational checks provide a more representative picture of the drinking water quality in a specific delivery area. After all, the customer’s indoor water system might influence the result of an analysis considerably.

An analysis of the results of the operational check shows that the drinking water distributed in Flanders almost always meets the imposed standards. The total compliance rate exceeds 99%. For the four health- relevant parameters, E. coli, enterococci, benzo(a)pyrene and nitrite, noncompliance was stated in a limited number of delivery areas. This was always immediately followed up by the water company, thereby avoiding any risks for public health.

QUALITY AT THE TAP

The checks carried out by the water companies meet or even exceed the minimum requirements. In 2013 a total of 11,072 monitoring checks and 1,088 audits were carried out. The drinking water quality at the tap was good in 2013. The total compliance percentage of all parameters - calculated based on both the total number of analyses and the total recorded non-compliance score also exceeds 99%. An analysis of the recorded non- compliance score of the parameters that are relevant for public health shows that lead, nickel, enterococci, nitrite and E. coli have the highest non-compliance scores. The highest non-compliance percentage (0.6%) was recorded for lead. A large number of non-compliance scores for E. coli, enterococci, nickel and nitrite were not re-confirmed during re-sampling. This probably indicates temporary changes in the water quality. The cause for the high score for lead mainly lies with the subscriber and only partly with the water company. More information about lead in drinking water is to be found in the VMM publication ‘Actieplan Loodpreventie in Drinkwater – Rapportering over het jaar 201310’ (‘Action Plan Lead Prevention in Drinking Water – Report on the year 2013’).

CONCLUSION

In summary, based on both the results of the legally obliged annual minimum check at the tap (monitoring schedule) and the results of the additional operational check carried out by the water companies, it can be stated that the quality of drinking water in Flanders meets the imposed quality requirements to a very large extent. More information about the quality of drinking water can be found on the VMM website11.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 35 //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 36 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures THE PRICE OF MAINS WATER INTEGRAL WATER INVOICE

All subscribers pay their water company via the integral water invoice. They pay for both the production and the distribution of mains water, as well as for the collection, drain-off and purification of waste water (used mains water)12. An integral water invoice therefore consists of a drinking water component (production and distribution) and the waste water components (drain-off and purification).

The drinking water component is the payment for the production and distribution of mains water. This component consists of an annual fixed fee (subscription fee) and a variable fee (depending on actual water consumption). Every water company is still legally obliged to annually supply 15 m3 of water per domiciled resident free of charge (€ 0 per m3 of used water). The tariffs for drinking water production and distribution differ from one water company to another.

The waste water components are:

—— the municipal contribution (GSB), the payment used to finance the municipal waste water treatment obligation (drain-off and collection of used water). The GSB for families is calculated based on a tariff per m3 used mains water. The used tariff for the GSB for families can vary from one municipality to another13. Although, the municipal tariff is limited to a maximum of 1.4 times the amount of the BGB (which is explained below). For businesses there are various possibilities for setting the tariff, depending on the provisions laid down in the contract between the municipality (or the sewer manager appointed by the municipality) and the water company14.

—— the regional contribution (BGB), the payment used to finance the regional waste water treatment obligation (purification of waste water). The BGB for families is also calculated based on a tariff per m3 used mains water. For companies the BGB is based on the amount of supplied mains water and an individual tariff that is based on the waste load of the waste water. As of 2014 the water companies also charge the BGB to companies and agriculturalists that use other water than drinking water. The BGB, which is tax-deductible, is deducted from the levy so that there is no double charging. The residue levy is the tailpiece of the regional charging. As of 2014, the charging of both the municipal and the regional contribution is on the same bill.

12 The collection/drain-off and treatment of waste water originating form a private water source (water well) can also be charged by the water company. On this, more information is to be found at www.vmm.be/water/drinkwaterfactuur. 13 An overview of the tariffs for water distribution and treatment per municipality is to be found at www.vmm.be/water/ drinkwaterfactuur. 14 An overview of the pricing structures for companies on a municipal level is to be found at www.vmm.be/water/drinkwaterfactuur.

The amounts included are those calculated for an average family with the tariffs that are in force on 1 January 2014, weighted on the basis of the distribution of the population across the water companies. In 2014, the share of the price for production and distribution of the drinking water on the integral water invoice (excl. VAT) of an average family is 44% on average. The municipal contribution counts for 32% and the regional contribution represents 24%. Over the past five years (2010-2014) the integral water invoice increased by 15% for an average family in Flanders. Between 2013 and 2014 it increased by 5%. This evolution can be attributed to the fact that nowadays almost every municipality charges a municipal waste water treatment contribution. Besides that, more and more municipalities employ the maximum tariff. More information and a thorough analyses and evaluation of the waste water treatment contributions is to be found in the report of the Economic Supervisor ‘Evaluatie of de bovengemeentelijke en gemeentelijke bijdrage16’ (‘Evaluation of the regional and municipal contribution’) and on the VMM website. The evolution of the drinking water component is thoroughly discussed in the next chapter about the tariffs and the price of the drinking water component. Appendix 7 includes information about the tariffs in force on 1 January 2015.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 40 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures EVOLUTION OF THE INTEGRAL WATER INVOICE OF DIFFERENT FAMILY TYPES

Table 11 gives an overview of the evolution of a calculated average integral water invoice for different family types which do not own a private water source. The calculated average integral water invoices per family type are weighted averages on the basis of the distribution of the various household sizes across Flanders. An overview of the distribution of the different family types across both Flanders and the water companies is included in Appendix 6.

The huge fluctuations between the minimum and maximum invoice in Table 11 can be explained by the different tariffs that the different water companies use for the drinking water component on the one hand, and the variation that occurs in municipal contribution tariffs. For example, subscribers of Brabant Water in Baarle- Hertog (NL) do not pay any waste water treatment contributions through the water invoice. For regional waste water treatment, VMM still imposes a levy on water pollution there. Furthermore, the groundwater tax was abolished in The Netherlands on 1 January 2012. Because of this the water for subscribers of Brabant Water became cheaper compared to 2010. A detailed overview of the different family types is included in Appendix 7.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 41 RELATIVITY OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE INTEGRAL WATER INVOICE

Figure 16 shows the evolution of the integral water invoice of an average family in relation to the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI increased by 10% between January 2009 and January 2014. During the same period, the drinking water component (fixed + variable fee) increased by 11%, and the waste water components (GSB + BGB) by 17%.

The figure clearly shows that, with the exception of the BGB (purification), every component of the drinking water invoice has increased more sharply than the CPI. The biggest increasers are the fixed fee of the drinking water component (16%) and the GSB of the waste water components (23%).

The steep rise of the fixed fee during 2013-14 can partly be explained by the introduction of additional social corrections, of which the cost is collected through the fixed fee (obligated by law). For the municipal contribution the explanation can be looked for in the fact that more and more municipalities change over to charging a maximum contribution.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 42 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures SHARE IN TOTAL CONSUMPTION OF A FAMILY

The Household Budget Survey (HBS), a biennial survey conducted by the FPS Economy, estimates the expenditures of the Belgian households based on a representative sample on the level of the Kingdom and the three regions (Brussels Capital Region, Flanders and Wallonia).

According to the latest figures available (2012), the share of the cost for ‘mains water and treatment of waste water’ accounts for 0.77% of the average total consumption of a Flemish household. In the Walloon Region that is 0.95%, in Brussels 0.91% and in the whole of Belgium0.91%. In comparison, the cost for electricity in Flanders for the same period represents 2.26% of the average household budget. Gas and other fuels represent 3.14% of the household budget.

Given the increase of the integral water price over the last years, the significance of the share ‘cost for water’ is increasing. It rose from 0.55% of the total consumption of a Flemish household in 2007 to 0.77% in 2012.

Figure 18 and Table 12 show the share of the cost for ‘mains water and treatment of waste water’ in the ‘equivalent annual disposable income17’ as was indicated by the respondents of the HBS. The figure and table show that for many participating families the share in the equivalent annual disposable income is significantly higher than the share in the total consumption in 2012.

For families in the lowest income groups the proportion of the ‘cost for water’ in the equivalent annual available income varies from 2.3% to 4.7%, depending on the family type. The HBS does not inquire whether or not the family is eligible for a social correction. Therefore, it is unknown whether or not social corrections were taken into account in the reported cost. Regarding the fact that on average the reported numbers for ‘treatment of waste water’ in the survey are lower than the cost for mains water, it could (carefully) be assumed that the invoice for part of the respondents is indeed socially corrected18. This assumption inevitably leads also to the consideration that the share for some families might be even higher.

17 The disposable income on an individual level (‘equivalent income’) is derived of the disposable family income that is corrected depending on the size of the family for that purpose. In order to come to the disposable income on an individual level, the disposable family income is not just divided by the number of family members: the fact that on average not all adult family members and especially children contribute proportionally to the family income is taken into account. A weight of 1 is given to the person of reference in the household. A weight of 0.5 is given to every other person over the age of 14, and a weight of 0.3 to every child. 18 The share of waste water treatment (drain-off + purification waste water) on the integral water invoice is 56% on average, compared to a 44% share of drinking water (mains water). Also, legally speaking, there was only a social correction available for the waste water component in 2012. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 44 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures Table 12.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 45 Figure 19 and Table 14 show the share of the average cost for drinking water, sewerage and waste water treatment (integral water invoice) for a two-person family type and 77 m3 annual consumption19. The share is calculated with regard to the first decile, the median decile and the ninth decile of the equivalent annual disposable income of families in different European countries and regions.

On average, in all countries and regions, the share is 3.5% of the low equivalent annual disposable income (first decile), 1.9% of the median equivalent annual disposable income and 1.1% of the high equivalent annual disposable income of families (ninth decile).

In Flanders the share for that family type amounts to 2.6% on average for the lowest incomes. This is significantly lower than in other countries and regions, with the exception of Austria. There the share is 2.5% for a two- member family. In Germany the share for this family type amounts to an average of 4.7% for low incomes. More information can be found in the VMMstudy ‘Prijsvergelijking van de kostprijs van water/afvalwater/ hemelwater voor de gebruikers in verschillende landen20’ (‘Price Comparison of the Cost for Water/Waste water/Rainwater for Users in Different Countries’).

The previous figures and tables clearly illustrate that the current available data must be nuanced and handled with due caution. On the one hand, the share of the average cost for ‘mains water and treatment of waste water’ (HBS 2012) in the total budget amounts to 0.8% of the average total consumption of the participating households in Flanders. But on the other hand, the share amounts to 4.7% and even 5.2% of the equivalent annual disposable income of the same participating families (depending on the situation). Then again, these percentages are (very) similar to the results of the VMMstudy, where the calculated invoice of different countries and regions is compared to the equivalent annual disposable income from the 2012 EU-SILC survey. Further investigation is definitely necessary in order to paint a clear and accurate picture of the issue concerning affordability of the water invoice.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 47 TARIFFS AND PRICE FOR PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF MAINS WATER (DRINKING WATER COMPONENT)

PRICING STRUCTURES FOR FAMILIES

Table 15 provides an overview of the tariffs and the pricing structures as employed by different water companies on 1 January 2014. Clearly, there is a vast diversity.

For the variable fee there are differences in terms of the number of consumption blocks used, the volume included in consumption blocks and the way of applying the consumption blocks (i.e. whether or not per domiciled resident). The differentiation concerning the way of charging the fixed fee no longer occurs in 2014. From then onwards, nearly all water companies charge a fixed fee per housing unit.

In addition to the first consumption which is legally obliged to be free of charge for all subscribers, Water-link, Pidpa and De Watergroep opt for one flat-rate consumption block (block 2), with no regard to the actual water consumption.

FARYS/TMVW and VIVAQUA employ more progressive pricing structures in order to stimulate sustainable water use. They employ multiple consumption blocks of which the rather limited volumes are adapted pro rata the number of domiciled residents and of which the tariffs go up from free ‘basic’ consumption, to more costly ‘normal’ consumption, to expensive ‘luxurious’ consumption. The other water companies have intermediate pricing structures with one or two limited consumption blocks. However, for these water companies the upper limit of the first paying block (block 2) is usually so high, that the total consumption can entirely be settled within this block.

Tables 16 and Figure 20 provide an overview per water company of the calculated price per m3 and the total price (both excluding VAT) of the drinking water component for an average family based on the tariffs in force on 1 January 2014.

The average drinking water price in Flanders is € 1.75 per m3 and varies from € 1.35 (Brabant Water) to € 2.09 (VIVAQUA Steenokkerzeel). Also the share of the fixed fee in the drinking water price varies strongly among the different water companies: from 17% (ASGO Knokke-Heist) to 62% (Brabant Water).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 51 Evolution of drinking water component for households

Table 17 shows the evolution of the calculated average drinking water component and its subcomponents for different family types. The calculated prices presented are arithmetic averages of the water companies.

Between 2000 and 2014, the fixed fee increased more strongly than the variable fee. The fixed fee increased from € 30 on average to € 49 on average, which equals a 65% rise. The variable fee increased from € 85 on average to € 117 on average which equals a 38% rise. It is also noteworthy that households with one domiciled resident clearly pay more per m3 of used mains water than households with several domiciled residents. This is due to the fact that the fixed fee does not progressively increase according to the number of domiciled residents.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 53 Social corrections

On 6 December 2013 the Flemish government approved the Implementation Act that lays down the measures for the protection of vulnerable target groups (protected customers). Because of this, as of January 2014, a subgroup of the protected customers, the formerly identified group of customers entitled to be exempted from or compensated for the regional contribution, is also exempted from paying the fixed fee of the drinking water component of the integral water invoice. The fixed fee is charged per housing unit, an exemption or a compensation is allowed per family. Starting from the allowed social corrections of the regional contribution in 2013, 9% of the households in Flanders qualify for a social correction of the fixed fee of the drinking water component.

However, Table 18 shows that there are significantly more housing units than households. Especially in the coastal areas (AGSO-Knokke and IWVA) the difference is huge. Among other things, this can be attributed to the large number of secondary residences in the coastal area. Compared to the number of housing units (the basis for the revenue of the fixed fee) the share of social beneficiaries is 7%.

Besides that the act also provides several other measures in order to protect vulnerable target groups. As of 1 January 2014 protected customers are, free of charge, entitled to: —— information about possible causes and steps to be taken following a sharp rise in consumption; —— a monthly payment; —— a personalised payment plan; —— a meter reading at their home; —— a water scan (This means a specialist examines which measures can be taken to optimise the water consumption of a subscriber)

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 54 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures Protected customers are also exempt from paying the cost associated with the sending of a formal notice and/ or a notice of default. To protect (all) water users from disconnection of the water supply, this government act also lays down a clear procedure that must be followed by the water companies before they are allowed to cut off the water supply. For instance, there must be at least six weeks between the notification of the imminent disconnection and the point at which the tap is actually closed. During that period, other arrangements can still be made. The local advisory committee of the OCMW (Public Social Welfare Centre) plays a key role in this procedure.

Tariffs for one-off services

In addition to the cost of drinking water production and distribution which is charged through the integral invoice, the water companies also charge numerous other tariffs for one-off services. Table 19 provides an overview of the tariffs in force on 1 January 2014 for a house connection, the replacement of a defective water meter and the first mandatory check (for instance a new estate) employed by different water companies. Here also, a vast differentiation is stated.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 55 PRICE COMPARISON OF THE DRINKING WATER COMPONENT IN SURROUNDING REGIONS

In table 20 and Figure 22 the Flemish drinking water price (water treatment cost excluded) for families is compared to the price in Wallonia and Brussels. As in Flanders, the drinking water component consists of a fixed fee (subscription fee) and a variable fee (based on consumption). Both in the Brussels Capital Region and the Walloon Region one uniform pricing structure is used for the entire region.

In the Brussels Capital Region a solidary and progressive pricing structure was introduced. In this structure, the price per m3 differs depending on the used amount of mains water and the family type. There are four progressive consumption blocks that are employed for both the drinking water component and the waste water components.

Brussels Capital Region Fixed fee (subscription fee) Per house or housing unit Variable fee Block 1: Vital Block from 0 m3 tot 15 m3 per domiciled resident per year Block 2: Social Block from 15 m3 tot 30 m3 per domiciled resident per year Block 3: Normal Block from 30 m3 tot 60 m3 per domiciled resident per year Block 4: Comfort Block from 60 m3 per domiciled resident per year

In Wallonia a uniform pricing structure is applicable since 2005. This pricing structure is based on the principle of the so-called ‘actual cost of mains water’ (CVD – the actual cost of the distribution, and CVA - the actual cost of the water treatment). CVD is an indicator in euro per m3 that is set per water company. The pricing structure consists of a fixed and a variable part. The variable part has a pricing structure based on three consumption blocks. The size (volume) of the consumption blocks is laid down in legislation, as well as the proportion of the tariffs per block and the contribution to the Social Fund. The pricing structure is a combination of two progressive price brackets (up to 5,000 m3) and digressive tariffs for the consumption over 5,000 m3.

Walloon Region Fixed fee drinking water 20 x CVD Fixed fee waste water treatment 30 x CVA Variable fee Block 1: from 0 to 30 m3 per year 1/2 CVD + Social Fund for Water + 6% VAT Block 2: from 31 to 5,000 m3 per year CVD + CVA + Social Fund for Water + 6% VAT Block 3: from 5,000 m³ to 25,000 m3 per year 0.9 CVD + CVA + Social Fund for Water + 6% VAT a x CVD + CVA + Social Fund for Water + 6% VAT Block 4: more than 25,000 m3 per year ( a : 0.5 =< a =< 0.9 )

In comparison to the other Belgian regions, the price of drinking water (water treatment excluded) in the Flemish Region is lower than in the Brussels Capital Region and the Walloon Region for every single family type. Striking is that the differentiation increases as the families grow in size. This can be attributed to the free granting of 15 m3 of water per domiciled resident in Flanders. This measure does not exist in other regions. Between 2012 and 2014 the price in the Brussels Capital Region increased the least in terms of percentage.

Table 21 provides an overview of the tariffs and the pricing structures for non-household customers as employed by the different water companies on 1 January 2014. Here as well a lot of differentiation among the water companies can be stated. Water-Link, Pidpa and VIVAQUA employ a flat pricing structure with only one, non-restricted, consumption block. The other companies use a digressive structure. For most companies, the first consumption block is limited in volume, going from 500 m3 to 6,000 m3. IWVA and De Watergroep also apply a second consumption block, limited at 60,000 m3. In this way, they make a clear distinction between small- and large-schale industry. With four consumption blocks, FARYS/TMVW has the most extended pricing structure and makes an even more nuanced distinction for its industrial customers.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 58 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures Capacity fees for large water meters for companies

Companies often need additional extraction capacity. This can have very different reasons: going from safety reasons (e.g. fire extinguishing capacity), to a very specific extraction behaviour (e.g. a large amount of water in very short time) to just major water use.

A larger capacity requires a larger water meter. Table 22 provides an overview of the annual fixed fee and/ or water meter rental charged for water meters with a diameter up to 100 mm. Sometimes more advanced water meters are used in combination with data loggers etc. Those tariffs are not included in the overview.

The table mainly shows that the tariffs at most water companies increase in relation to the capacity of the water meter. At the same time it proves that, here as well, there is a lot of differentiation among the water companies. FARYS/TMVW and VIVAQUA do not make any distinction between small and larger water meters.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 59 TARIFS AND PRICE FOR THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF MAINS WATER FOR COMPANIES

Table 23 and Figure 23 provide an overview of the calculated price per m3 and the total price for a company with an annual consumption of 1,000 m3 and a water meter with a diameter smaller than 30 mm. The calculation is based on the tariffs in force on 1 January 2014. For the record it should be mentioned that in certain cases the theoretical calculations may deviate from practice. For instance, not all company types occur in all distribution areas. Sometimes additional conditions are imposed concerning minimum annual consumption (e.g. annual consumption of De Watergroep must be at least 3,000 m3). With major consumers, the water companies almost always enter into individual contracts. These contracts consist of individual pricing structures and the accompanying individually negotiated tariffs. These individual pricing structures and tariffs are unknown. Consequently they were not included in the calculations in this document. Among the water companies there is a huge difference in the pricing for companies, as there is for families. The differentiation occurs for both the variable fee going from € 0.88 per m3 (Brabant Water) to € 3.21 per m3 (VIVAQUA) and the fixed fee going from € 22 per year (AGSO Knokke-Heist) to € 250.95 per year (De Watergroep).

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 61 Evolution of the tariffs for the production and distribution for companies 2000-2014

Table 24 shows the evolution of the calculated average drinking water component and its subcomponents for different types of companies. The presented calculated prices are the arithmetic averages of the water companies. It is found that companies with a lower water consumption pay significantly more per m3 used water than companies with a higher water consumption and a larger water connection. This is due to the regressive tariff for large volumes that is used by several water companies.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 63 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE WATER SECTOR GLOBAL DATA ABOUT THE WATER SECTOR

This chapter discusses the sectorial profit-and-loss account and the evolution of a limited amount of sectorial ratios. The tables and graphs in this chapter are based on the figures that water companies publish in their filed annual accounts. The figures relate to all activities carried out by the water companies, not merely water related activities. Water companies are responsible for the production and distribution of drinking water (drinking water activity) treatment of the water supplied (waste water treatment activity) and, in addition, also carry out other activities (for instance, FARYS/TMVW manages sports infrastructure and AGSO Knokke- Heist manages city development).

SECTORIAL BALANCE SHEET21 The sectorial balance sheet total is obtained by adding up the individual data of the different water companies. The total sum of the fixed assets of the sector is almost 85% of the balance sheet total. This indicates the investment-intensive character of the sector.

The sectorial profit-and-loss account paints a general picture of the exploitation during 2013. Note that the sectorial profit-and-loss-account is merely the sum of the figures from the profit-and-loss account of every water company individually.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 65 SECTORIAL RATIOS23

Sectorial averages

The ratios and conclusions on sector level in Table 27 are based on absolute figures and therefore take into account the size of every single water company. The liquidity of a company is the ability of a company to pay short-term obligations (debts when they are due). The short-term liquidity is calculated based on the current ratio. This is the ratio between the current assets24 and the short-term loan capital. A value higher (lower) than one indicates a positive (negative) working capital. In that case, the total assets of the sector are basically (not) sufficient to fulfil its short-term financial responsibilities. Still, a ratio below one should not be problematic by definition. The higher the ratio, the healthier the company’s liquidity position. In 2013 the ratio for the drinking water sector decreased to 0.83. This means that the current ratio on sector level is still below the tilt value of one.

The solvency of a company is the capacity of a company to fulfil its long-term financial responsibilities. It indicates to which extent the sector chooses to finance either with equity, or with loan capital. In 2013 the ratio is 50%. Compared to 2012, it increased by 5%. Thus, in 2013, half of the balance sheet total of the sector is financed with loan capital and the other half with equity.

The profitability of a company is a measure for the production efficiency. The profitability of the total assets before taxation is the return of the total assets or equity. The profitability of the used material resources has been decreasing since 2010, and amounts 1.52% in 2013. The profitability of the equity after taxation, the return of allocated capital, decreases by 0.60% to a percentage of 1.84% in 2013 (compared to 2012).

23 The ratios on sector level are calculated based on the sectorial balance sheet and the sectorial profit-and-loss account. Brabant Water and GW Hoeilaart are not admitted in the sectorial ratios. Only the figures of the Flemish part of VIVAQUA are included. Besides that, this calculation also includes figures of IMWV. 24 This is the sum of the inventories and work-in-progress, the short-term receivables, the financial investments, the liquid assets and other current assets (accounting codes 3 until 490/1). //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 66 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures EVOLUTION OF THE RATIOS PER WATER COMPANY25

The three figures below illustrate the evolution of the liquidity, the solvency and the profitability of every water company between 2009 and 2013.

Figure 25 illustrates the evolution of the liquidity of the drinking water sector. This evolution is based on the evolution of the current ratio. The liquidity position of Pidpa is the strongest in 2013. The current ratio of VIAVAQUA, IWM and De Watergroep26 is below the tilt value of one in 2013. Globally seen a falling trend can be stated within the water sector. In order to make Figure 25 clear and readable, the figure for AGSO Knokke- Heist was not admitted. It has an extremely high ratio as a consequence of the real estate activity. The current ratio of AGSO Knokke-Heist is 12.0% and 7.6% in 2012 and 2013 respectively.

In 2013, the solvency of IWVA (64.8%) and Water-link (64.6%) is the highest. For most water companies this ratio is in between 40% and 60%. The value of IWVB is negative as a consequence of the negative equity.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 70 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures Table 29 shows the market share per water company, which is calculated based on the turnover from the water sale. The table shows that De Watergroep has the largest market share in 2013. More than 35% of the turnover achieved from water sale in Flanders was realised by De Watergroep. De four largest water companies (De Watergroep, Water-link, Pidpa and FARYS/TMVW) achieved more than 91% of the turnover from water sale in 2013. This indicates a very high concentration within the sector.

The same conclusion can be made after calculating the Herindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). This index is calculated by summing up all the squared market shares. It is often used in competition issues as a criterion for the concentration in the sector. In 2013, the HHI is 0.24 and is therefore higher than benchmark 0.18. This indicates a high concentration within the sector. The score does not change whether or not ISWa members are, as a group, included in the calculation

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 73 INVESTMENTS IN WATER SUPPLY

It is important to closely monitor the investments made by water companies in water infrastructure in order to properly regulate the water companies. Indeed, sufficient investments in the public water supply are necessary in order to guarantee long-term qualitative and affordable drinking water in Flanders. Under- investment can lead to risks for the quality of both the infrastructure and the drinking water. Over-investment can lead to inefficient use of the infrastructure and unaffordable tariffs for the end-consumer. Financial data about the investments made for water infrastructure are available for 2011, 2012 and 2013.

In Figure 30 and Table 30 the investments that were put to use in the drinking water supply are split up into three sub-activities: —— Investments in water pipes: the total of investments put to use for replacement, renovation or extension of the water pipes (clear water + raw water) —— Investments in water related systems: the total of investments put to use for water systems that are directly related to the production and distribution of water but that are not water pipes. —— Other investments: the total of investments put to use that are not directly related to the production and distribution of water, but that are still assigned to the drinking water activity (e.g. overhead)

In order to determine the number of investments put to use over the course of 2013, the sum of ‘procurements, including the produced fixed assets’ and the ‘transfers from of one item to another’ (as far as they relate to transferred assets-in-progress) was made for the tangible fixed assets, with the exception of fixed assets-in- progress. Concretely, it is about figures for terrains and buildings, systems, machines and equipment, furniture and rolling stock, leasing and comparable rights and other tangible fixed assets (accounting codes 22 until 26). The investments of GW Hoeilaart are unknown for 2013. GW Hoeilaart was however included in the 2011 and 2012 reports. The share of investments made by GW Hoeilaart compared to the total investments in 2012 is 0.26%.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 74 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures In Flanders € 153 million and € 198 million was invested in the production and distribution of drinking water in 2011 and 2012 respectively. In 2013 the water companies invested € 163 million in the water activity, which is a decrease by 17.7 % compared to 2012. The decrease in 2013 compared to 2012 is due to the strong decrease of other investments. The investments in water pipes and water related systems remained stable on sector level. Table 30 shows the value of the investments put to use in the public water supply, per water company and the three sub-activities mentioned above.

Figure 31 gives insight into the age of the water pipe network in Flanders in 2013. The percentages reflect the weighed situation in Flanders according to the length of the network. The figures take the replacement and the extension of the network into account. The data represent almost 97% of the total water pipe network in Flanders. For IWVB and VIVAQUA there is no data available. About 43% of the total water pipe network was constructed between 1960 and 1980. Of the total water pipe network 4% dates from the period 2010-2013.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 76 - Water Meter 2014 - Drinking water production and distribution in figures GLOSSARY

Average family: a family consisting of 2.33 domiciled persons with an annual mains water consumption of 84 m3 and no private water collection site. Clear water: drinking water supplied to wholesalers. Collected water: all the collected ground- and surface water. Delivery area: a geographically demarcated area within which the water intended for human consumption originates from one or more sources of which the water is expected to be of nearly uniform quality. Distribution area: the area within which the operator of a public water distribution network supplies drinking water, via pipelines of the public water distribution network, to subscribers. Drinking water: water that meets the requirements laid down for water for human consumption. This includes all the water that, in untreated or treated form, is destined for drinking, cooking, food preparation or other household purposes, regardless of the origin and regardless of whether the water is distributed via a public water distribution network or via a private water source, from a tanker or lorry or in bottles or cartons, with the exception of: a. natural mineral water, which is recognised as such in accordance with the Royal Decree of 8 February 1999 concerning natural mineral water and source water; b. water that is a medicine. Drinking Water Decree: the legal framework for the management of drinking water and the protection of drinking water quality. Drinking water component: the payment for the production and distribution of the mains water (part of the integral water invoice). This component consists of an annual fixed fee (subscription fee) and a variable fee (depending on water consumption). Equivalent annual disposable income: the disposable income at the individual level (‘equivalent income’) is derived from the available family income adjusted to the size of the family. The disposable income at individual level is not just the household disposable income divided by the number of family members. The fact that in general not all adult family members and especially children make a proportional contribution to the family income is taken in account. A weight of 1 is assigned to the reference person in the household, a weight of 0.5 to any other person over 14 years and a weight of 0.3 to every child. EU-SILC: European Union – Statistics on Income and Living Conditions Fixed fee: fixed part of the drinking water component of the integral water invoice. The fixed part is also known as the subscription fee. Flanders Environment Agency (VMM): an agency of the Flemish Government which is active in the following areas: environment in general, air and water. VMM has many different duties within these three areas. Among other things, the agency plays a part in the integral water policy: it measures and monitors the quantity and quality of water, manages water systems, imposes a levy on water pollution and groundwater collection and supervises the infrastructure for waste water treatment. Besides that, VMM is also responsible for the drinking water regulation Groundwater: all the water that is situated under the ground surface in the saturated zone, and that comes into direct contact with the soil or subsoil. Groundwater Decree: the legal framework for the management of groundwater and the protection of groundwater quality. HBS: The Household Budget Survey (Belgian households) Housing unit: each unit in a housing that is designed or adapted to be used separately and that has at least the following residential provisions: a living room in combination with a lavatory, a shower or bath and a kitchen or kitchenette. Integral water invoice: the invoice that water companies send to their subscribers. This invoice contains a drinking water component and waste water components.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 77 ISWa member: an active water company that is part of the alliance ISWa, more specifically GW Hoeilaart, ASGO Knokke- Heist and IWM. Mains water: water that is supplied via the public water distribution network. Major consumers (GV): non-small consumers. The major consumers are mainly companies and farmers. Municipal contribution (GSB): a payment that is used to finance the municipal waste water treatment obligation (drain- off and collection of used water). It is one of the waste water components on the integral water invoice. Raw water: water before production (which is converted into drinking water or other water further into the cycle). Regional contribution (BGB): a payment that is used to finance the regional waste water treatment obligation (purification of waste water). It is one of the waste water components on the integral water invoice. Small consumers (KV): non-major consumers. Small consumers are mainly families, but also small companies and services that only use small amounts of water. (Cf. article 35quater, § 1 of the Law of 26 March 1971 concerning the protection of surface waters against pollution.) Subscriber: any natural or legal person entitled to a real estate, connected to a public water distribution network and to whom the operator of a public distribution network supplies drinking water via said public water distribution network. Surface water: all the water that water companies collect that is not groundwater. Target groups: three target groups are distinguished, more specifically, households, industry, and agriculture (cf. WFD). Different subscribers are assigned to different target groups: 1. major consumers a. with an agricultural activity (cf. tax on water pollution) are classified as agricultural; b. without agricultural activity are classified as industrial. 2. small consumers a. with domiciled residents are classified as household; b. without domiciled residents and with a VAT number are classified as industrial; c. the remaining group, i.e. small consumers without domiciled residents or with an unknown number of domiciled residents and without VAT number. This group includes secondary residences and companies that did not report a VAT number. Variable fee: variable part of the drinking water component of the integral water invoice. The variable fee depends on the water consumption. Water activity: the whole of activities for the production and distribution of water to subscribers and wholesalers. Water company: the operator of a public water distribution network. Water consumption: water that is used in a measurable quantity. Water Sale Regulations: the Government Act of 8 April 2011 containing provisions for the rights and obligations of the operators of a public water distribution network and their customers concerning the distribution of water intended for human consumption, the implementation of the waste water treatment obligation and the General Water Sale Regulations. Waste water components: the contributions for the drain-off, collection and purification of the waste water originating from the used mains water. They consist of the GSB and/or GSV and the BGB. The waste water components are part of the integral water invoice. WaterRegulator: a Flemish regulation unit for drinking water set up in 2009 as a sub-entity of VMM with primary focus: a. increasing transparency concerning drinking water production, b. comparing the performances and efficiency of the water companies, c. conducting studies and, based on the results, giving advice to the Flemish government. Wholesaler: every customer that is not a subscriber and to whom the operator of a public water distribution network supplies water.
