The Board of Stockholm Water and Waste AB is proposed to adopt a policy ensuring that the company’s sale of goods and services takes place on equal and competitively neutral terms. The policy includes market-based pricing, regular assessments of risks of distorting competition, and procedures for complaints; it is proposed to take effect on 1 October 2026.

The Board is proposed to adopt the updated financial policy for Stockholms Stadshus AB and its subsidiaries. The policy regulates, among other things, how the companies borrow, invest funds, and manage financial risks; this year’s changes are editorial only and do not directly affect residents’ daily lives.

The Board is proposed to approve Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB’s revised multi-year plan for 2027–2029. For 2027, the result after capital costs is expected to be SEK 69 million, SEK 99 million lower than in the previous plan, mainly because water and wastewater revenues are estimated to decrease by SEK 64 million and interest expenses to increase by just over SEK 81 million; the company proposes addressing this through approximately SEK 45 million in lower operating costs.

The Board of Stockholm Water and Waste is proposed to approve the financial monthly report for July 2026. The report shows that the company’s loans amount to SEK 36,877 million, that 85.8 percent of the SEK 43,000 million borrowing limit is being used, and that the interest rate was 2.83 percent; according to the forecast, a one-percentage-point increase in interest rates would raise costs by approximately SEK 368.8 million over one year.

The City Council will receive the minutes from Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB’s board meeting on 11 June 2026. The minutes include financial monitoring, major investment projects, waste management, water and sewage, as well as new instructions for the company’s work.

The board is proposed to approve the notification of several referrals and documents. These include an agreement to protect additional forest within the Bornsjön nature reserve, which is important both for its natural values and for Stockholm’s reserve water supply; forestry will be limited in the affected areas, with compensation planned within five to six years. An audit of Syvab AB finds that the company’s governance and finances are generally functioning well, but recommends better-documented follow-up of internal controls and operational objectives.

It is proposed that Stockholm Vatten AB approve the registration of the company’s consultation response on Huddinge Municipality’s water services plan. The plan concerns the long-term expansion of water and sewage services and measures to address cloudbursts; the company considers that its previous comments have been taken into account and has no new objections. For residents and property owners, future expansion may entail new connection and usage fees, while the costs of climate adaptation and environmental requirements may ultimately affect water and sewage tariffs.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall proposes that the evaluation of the city’s stormwater strategy be approved and forwarded for further processing. The strategy, adopted in 2015, is still considered effective and consistent with legislation, but some parts should be updated, and the city needs to clarify responsibilities, costs, and how stormwater is to be managed in urban planning.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is proposed to approve a compilation of investments decided by the Chief Executive Officer during January–June 2026, ranging from SEK 10 million to SEK 50 million.

The Board is proposed to approve the progress report for Stockholm’s Future Water Supply (SFV) and forward it to Stockholm Vatten och Avfall. The programme aims to secure the future drinking water supply through renovations of waterworks, reservoirs and main pipelines; the report shows no new major deviations, although some projects risk becoming more expensive. It covers around 30 ongoing projects and is estimated to require approximately SEK 20 billion over its duration, with the goal of enabling the drinking water system to produce 534,000 cubic metres per day by 2050.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall proposes a new water and wastewater tariff from 1 January 2027, which will also be submitted to the municipal councils of Stockholm and Huddinge. The recurring charges are proposed to increase by 12 percent, equivalent to approximately SEK 83 more per month for a detached house and SEK 48 more per apartment per month in a multi-unit building; connection charges are proposed to increase by an average of 32 percent.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is proposed to adopt several supplementary owner directives and action plans through 2030. They cover, among other things, an age-friendly city, the rights of national minorities and the Sámi, the rights of LGBTQI people, Roma inclusion, children’s rights, and gender equality, with the aim of ensuring equal rights, participation, and safer conditions for all Stockholm residents.

Stockholm Vatten proposes upgrading the UV facility at the Östra Norsborg waterworks to safeguard drinking water quality when the raw water contains higher levels of organic matter and bacteria. The project includes three UV units and associated controls, with a proposed budget of up to SEK 52 million; the work is planned in stages from late 2027 to early 2029 without disrupting water production.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall proposes investing up to SEK 62 million in Blackeberg phases 2 and 3. The project will rebuild and supplement water, wastewater and stormwater pipelines to enable around 380 new homes, as well as improvements to streets, walking and cycling paths, and parks. The work is planned to run from late 2026 to mid-2028, but costs have increased sharply due to factors including bedrock, high groundwater levels and contaminated groundwater.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall proposes new water and wastewater charges from 1 January 2027, which will also be submitted to Huddinge’s municipal council for a decision. The usage charges are proposed to increase by 12 percent, corresponding to approximately SEK 83 more per month for a detached house and SEK 48 more for an average apartment in a multi-family building; one-off connection fees are proposed to increase by an average of 32 percent.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is proposed to adopt a policy ensuring that the company’s sales are conducted in a competition-neutral, commercial, equal and transparent manner. The policy includes market-based pricing, regular competition assessments and complaint procedures, and is proposed to take effect on 1 October 2026.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is proposed to adopt Stockholm Stadshus AB’s updated financial policy for the corporate group. The policy covers loans, investments, financial risks and the division of responsibilities; this year’s changes are purely editorial and do not affect the practical rules.

Stockholm Vatten AB proposes that the board approve a revised multi-year plan for 2027–2029. For 2027, the result after capital costs is expected to be SEK 69 million, SEK 99 million lower than in the previous plan, mainly due to lower water and wastewater revenues and higher interest rates; operating costs will therefore be reduced by approximately SEK 45 million, while the investment forecast remains unchanged.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is proposed to approve the financial monthly report for July 2026. The report shows that the company’s loan debt was SEK 36,877 million, SEK 540 million higher than the previous month, that 85.8 percent of the borrowing limit was used, and that the interest rate was 2.83 percent.

The matter concerns registering the minutes from Stockholm Vatten AB’s board meeting on 11 June 2026. The minutes cover, among other things, planning for the 2027 water and wastewater tariff, several investment projects, and financial reports, highlighting proposed fee increases and the company’s cost control.
