Trinkwasserversorgung Magdeburg

Trinkwasserversorgung Magdeburg GmbH (TWM) is a German drinking water utility based in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt. It operates as a joint venture of 18 municipal shareholders and supplies drinking water to municipal distributors, municipal utilities (Stadtwerke), associations and industrial companies in the greater Magdeburg area and central Saxony-Anhalt. According to its official website, more than 731,000 people in Saxony-Anhalt receive its water. TWM is responsible for the extraction, treatment, storage and distribution of drinking water up to the point of handover to its customers. Its water originates predominantly from the large groundwater resources of the Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide and the Westfläming, as well as from the Rappbodetalsperre reservoir in the Harz mountains. Through its interconnected pipeline system (Leitungsverbundsystem), the company balances water-surplus and water-deficit areas. The company's infrastructure includes roughly 90 kilometres of raw water pipelines and 760 kilometres of drinking water pipelines. It provides services such as drinking water quality information, laboratory services, pipeline maps, shaft permits and fault reporting for its supply areas. As a municipal joint venture rather than a listed company, TWM is not traded on a stock exchange. Its ownership is held by 18 municipal shareholders, reflecting its public-service role in regional water supply.
