Agenda items
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.
The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to approve a report on several consultation responses to be noted. The matters concern, among other things, water operations in Solna and Sundbyberg, recycling operations in Ekerö, an action programme for Fiskarfjärden, urban cultivation, a cultural strategy, and the handling of information related to security protection.
The Board is proposed to adopt several citywide action plans through 2030: for an age-friendly city, the rights of national minorities and the Sami people, the rights of LGBTQI people, Roma inclusion, children’s rights, and gender equality. The plans aim, among other things, to strengthen equal rights, participation, security, and equal living conditions, while the previous children’s rights and gender equality programs from 2018–2022 are proposed to be discontinued.
The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to adopt a policy on competitive neutrality, effective October 1, 2026. The policy will ensure that the company’s sales comply with the law on public-sector sales activities and are conducted commercially, transparently, and on equal terms, including through market-based pricing and regular competition assessments.
The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to adopt Stockholm Stadshus AB’s updated financial policy for the corporate group. The policy regulates how the companies manage loans, investments, financial risks and reporting; this year’s changes are editorial only and do not affect the content.
The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is proposed to approve the financial monthly report for July 2026. The company’s loans total SEK 36.877 billion, which is SEK 540 million more than the previous month and corresponds to 85.8 percent of the borrowing limit; the interest rate was 2.83 percent and the city’s guarantee commitment was SEK 4 million.
The City Council will receive the minutes from Stockholm Avfall AB’s meeting on 11 June 2026. The minutes cover, among other things, waste charges, food-waste collection, major investments, the company’s finances, and measures following the City Audit Office’s review, but contain no new decisions affecting residents in this matter.
The Waste Management Administration proposes that the Waste Committee approve a report on decisions made by officials under delegated authority during May–July 2026. The decisions concern, among other things, temporary suspensions of waste collection, shared waste containers, and changed emptying intervals for grease separators at addresses across Stockholm; several applications were approved in full, approved in part, or rejected.
The Waste Management Board proposes a waste fee schedule for 2027, with an average increase of 3 percent, to be forwarded to the City Council for approval. This would mean approximately SEK 105 more per year for detached homes and SEK 55 more per year for an apartment; separately sorted food waste is proposed to remain free, while fees for apartment buildings and businesses vary depending on the collection system.
The Waste Management Board is proposed to approve updated delegation rules, specifying which decisions may be made by the department director and experts instead of the Board. The proposal updates references to Stockholm’s waste regulations and adds delegated authority for matters including exemptions from property-near collection and the municipality’s secondary responsibility for retail waste, which should speed up processing.
The Waste Management Board will consider the minutes from its meeting on June 11, 2026. They include, among other things, a proposal in principle to increase the waste fee by 4 percent in 2027 and proposed changes to Stockholm’s waste management regulations; the fee will be developed in greater detail later, and the regulations are proposed for submission to the City Council.
Stockholm Housing Agency presented board statistics for September 2026. The board decided to note the statistics, with no further decision about the housing agency.
The Housing Agency’s consultation response on the city’s cultural programme highlighted how stable housing affects people’s ability to participate in cultural and community life. In its response on the city’s housing targets, the company noted that demand for rental housing remains high and that any changes to construction should be preceded by a comprehensive analysis; the minutes did not say how the consultation responses were handled.
The board of Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB adopted the financial policy for the Stockholms Stadshus AB group on 24 September 2026. The policy sets out how the group’s finances and financial risks are to be managed.
