The matter concerns a financial monthly report for S:t Erik Försäkrings AB for August 2026, submitted for information. The company’s assets total SEK 486 million, which is SEK 3 million less than the previous month, and the interest rate was 2.44 percent; the report also describes the municipal group’s borrowing, interest rates, and the economic environment.

The Board will consider S:t Erik Försäkrings AB’s report on its position during the first two four-month periods of the year. The company reports a pre-tax profit of SEK 26.6 million, expects the full-year result to be roughly in line with the budget, and has a high solvency ratio of 503 percent. The report also covers loss-prevention efforts, research into fire-safe timber construction, information security, and plans for the upcoming reinsurance procurement.

The Board is proposed to approve the notification of several consultation responses and other documents. One agreement proposes protecting additional valuable forest areas in the Bornsjön Nature Reserve, with the aim of safeguarding Stockholm’s reserve water supply and natural assets; no forestry activities should take place in the areas before compensation has been assessed. In response to the review of Syvab AB, it is stated that governance and finances are largely functioning well, but the company is proposed to improve its documentation of internal controls and its assessment of operational objectives.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall proposes that the Board approve the report on the evaluation of Stockholm’s stormwater strategy and forward it to Stockholm Stadshus AB. The evaluation shows that the strategy adopted in 2015 remains relevant and consistent with current legislation, but that certain parts need updating and that responsibilities, costs, and practical application need to be clarified in urban planning.

The Board is proposed to approve a progress report on the Stockholm Future Water Supply programme and forward it to Stockholm Stadshus AB. The programme aims to secure the long-term drinking water supply through investments in water treatment plants, reservoirs and main pipelines; total projected investment is approximately SEK 19.2–20 billion, with a target capacity of 534,000 cubic metres of water per day by 2050. The report identifies no new major deviations, but some projects may become more expensive and affect other investments.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall proposes that the progress report for the Stockholm’s Future Wastewater Treatment project be approved and submitted to Stockholm Stadshus AB. According to the report, the project is largely on schedule: wastewater should be able to flow from Bromma to Henriksdal in 2028, the Henriksdal treatment plant should be fully completed in 2031, and the budget forecast remains SEK 19.5 billion at 2023 price levels. The project includes a 14-kilometre tunnel and expansions of the treatment plants at Henriksdal and Sickla, allowing the Bromma treatment plant to be closed and reducing noise, odour and transport impacts.

The board of Stockholm Water and Waste is proposed to adopt several action plans through 2030 on human rights: an age-friendly city, the rights of national minorities and the Sámi, LGBTQI rights, Roma inclusion, children’s rights, and gender equality. The plans will guide the company’s work on equal rights, participation, safety, and equal conditions, while older programmes on children’s rights and gender equality are proposed to be discontinued.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall proposes raising water and sewage fees from 1 January 2027, subject to approval by the Stockholm City Council. Ongoing fees would increase by 12 percent, equivalent to approximately SEK 83 more per month for a detached house and SEK 48 per apartment in a multi-family building; one-time fees for connecting a property would increase by an average of 32 percent.

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 investments concern, among other things, the renewal of water and sewage pipelines, new pumping stations and measures at water treatment plants, as well as the relocation of pipelines required for planned housing, metro expansion and other construction projects.

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.
