The City Audit Office has reviewed how Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB works to counteract work-related crime in construction projects. The review shows that the company is partly successful in preventing and detecting this type of crime, but recommends that follow-up and checks of labor law contractual conditions need to become more systematic and risk-based. The company agrees with this need and has planned measures to strengthen its work, including investigating participation in "Fair Construction" and improving documentation of subcontractors, as well as training project managers on how to counteract work-related crime.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB plans to construct a new waterworks on southern Lovön, as the current facility, built in the 1930s, is outdated and requires either a risky renovation or replacement.

The review indicates that the company has, for the most part, managed its operations well, but there are shortcomings in internal control, such as strengthening risk management and investment follow-up.

The City Audit has reviewed Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB's efforts to counter workplace crime, particularly in high-risk construction projects. The review found that the company partially works to prevent and detect workplace crime, but that there are areas for improvement.

The board of Stockholm City Hall AB is proposed to make decisions on several new directives affecting the city's residents.

Stockholm Vatten AB plans to renovate digester 5 at the Henriksdal wastewater treatment plant to improve its function and prepare for an upgrade of the treatment process. This renovation is necessary because the digester is over 60 years old and has reached the end of its technical lifespan. The project, estimated to cost up to SEK 78 million, is expected to take place between late 2026 and late 2027 and will ensure the plant can handle future volumes of sewage sludge and produce biogas.

Stockholm Vatten AB is planning to renovate and modernize the operational facilities at the Henriksdal wastewater treatment plant for a total of SEK 190.8 million. This upgrade is necessary because the Bromma wastewater treatment plant will be closed, increasing the workforce at Henriksdal from 120 to 165 employees. The aim is to create modern workplaces with new laboratories, offices, and staff areas that will be functional for the next 30 years, while also improving the work environment and environmental performance, including through the installation of solar cells. The project is expected to be completed by 2030.

Stockholm Vatten AB intends to construct a new waterworks on Lovön, named Lovö södra, to secure Stockholm's drinking water supply through 2050 and beyond. The current Lovö waterworks, built in the 1930s, is obsolete, and a renovation would be too complex and risky for water delivery. The new facility, estimated to cost approximately 8.2 billion SEK plus indexation risk, will address increased demand from a growing population and adapt to climate change to ensure water quality and supply reliability.

The board of Stockholm Water and Waste Company AB is proposed to approve the company's self-assessment of its internal control for 2025.
