Business Operations

Main services:
- Abstraction, treatment, and distribution of drinking water to households, businesses, and public bodies in Radviliškis district.
- Wastewater collection through sewer networks and wastewater treatment at municipal treatment facilities.
- New customer connections to water and wastewater networks, meter installation and verification, leak detection and repair, and emergency response.
- Ancillary lab and water quality services as required by Lithuanian public health standards.

Business model and regulation:
UAB „Radviliškio vanduo“ operates as a regulated public service provider. Tariffs for water supply and wastewater services are set and approved by the national regulator (Valstybinė energetikos reguliavimo taryba, VERT). Revenue primarily derives from end-user tariffs, connection fees, and service charges. Capital investments are typically financed through a mix of depreciation-funded capital expenditure, municipal support, and national/EU structural funds (notably the EU Cohesion Fund for water and wastewater infrastructure).

Service area and customers:
The utility serves the city of Radviliškis and multiple settlements within the Radviliškis district municipality. Customers include residential users, commercial and industrial enterprises, and municipal institutions.

Market position:
As the designated water utility in its territory, the company operates as a natural monopoly in Radviliškis district, competing only indirectly with alternative on-site solutions (individual wells and septic systems). Regionally, peer utilities include Šiaulių vandenys (Šiauliai), as well as municipal water companies in neighboring districts.

History

Public water and wastewater services in Radviliškis date back to municipal operations in the Soviet period. In line with Lithuanian public sector reforms, water management functions were corporatized into municipal companies in the 1990s and early 2000s. UAB „Radviliškio vanduo“ emerged from this restructuring as the dedicated corporate entity responsible for water supply and wastewater management in the district.

Key developments commonly associated with Lithuanian municipal water companies over the last two decades include:
- Expansion and rehabilitation of water and sewer networks to increase coverage and reliability.
- Upgrading drinking water treatment to meet EU Drinking Water Directive standards and Lithuanian hygiene norms.
- Modernization of wastewater treatment plants to comply with the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive and national discharge limits.
- Metering improvements and SCADA/telemetry deployment for operations monitoring and loss reduction.
- Utilization of EU Cohesion Fund and national co-financing in the 2007–2013 and 2014–2020 programming periods for network and plant upgrades in the district.
