Who are we?

The Water and Wastewater Department is responsible for delivering drinking water and managing wastewater for a large part of the municipality's population. We are a team of 26 employees working with water, wastewater, biogas, and waste. Our operations are of vital importance to society, meaning that delivery security and continuity are high priorities. Our systems and processes must function even under crisis conditions, which is why we actively work with both business continuity management and information security.

The Water and Wastewater Department works extensively with digitalization. We develop our own systems and place great emphasis on monitoring our processes. Digitalization is a central part of our development. We build and develop digital systems around the water and wastewater map and monitoring. Control and regulation systems are external systems that we adapt to our operations. Curiosity and a strong drive to develop digital solutions permeate the entire department.

• Work with network monitoring via LoRaWAN, where you will play a key role in developing and structuring solutions.
• Work with information security.
• Work with business continuity management.
