Make a Real Difference Together with Miva

At Miva, we work for a sustainable society – every day.

Our constant presence with nature and people gives us a great responsibility and an important role in a functioning cycle. Water is our most important resource, and our mission is to ensure that it works – today and in the future.

The water and sewage business area is responsible for ensuring that the majority of residents in Örnsköldsvik municipality always have access to clean water, and that our rivers, lakes, and seas are protected from pollution. We meet society's needs for water services with a focus on high delivery reliability and community benefit in dialogue with our surroundings.

Projects that Shape Örnsköldsvik

Within our project unit, many different planning and construction projects are underway.
