You will also assist property owners in climate-adapting their VA supply, with a particular focus on managing risks such as water shortages, heavy rainfall, and changes in water quality.

You will be part of the municipality's cross-administrative VA group and play a key role in raising awareness about water sampling, maintenance, and protection of individual VA facilities.

Additionally, you will collect valuable knowledge about water quality and property owners' interest in community solutions, which contributes to prioritizing VA expansion areas.

By tailoring your message to the target audience, you make complex information easy to understand and relevant.
