Executive overview
Why this report matters
Summary Insight: Paris is an interconnected metropolitan water system in which source-water availability, treatment capacity, distribution performance, wastewater operations, wet-weather control, non-potable supply, urban cooling demand, river quality, and climate exposure influence one another across institutional boundaries. This report examines how Eau de Paris, SIAAP, the City of Paris, regulatory obligations, digital operations, circular water strategies, and investment sequencing shape system-wide resilience.
This Our Future Water Intelligence report provides an independent assessment of Eau de Paris’s infrastructure strategy, metropolitan governance, demand management, financial resilience, and long-term climate-risk response.
This estimate represents the investment required to strengthen Paris’s water infrastructure and long-term resilience.

Inside the report
Analytical coverage
Architectures: Dual-source supply and metropolitan wastewater coordination
Examines how Eau de Paris coordinates source water, treatment, storage, and non-potable assets to protect service continuity across a complex urban network. The analysis connects source diversity, asset interdependence, service continuity, environmental performance and long-term resilience.
Enablement: Demand management, telemetry and non-potable substitution
Analyzes how Eau de Paris uses demand management, metering, acoustic monitoring, and public engagement to control losses and reduce pressure on potable supplies. These capabilities determine whether operators can coordinate demand, asset performance, customer service and incident response.
Resolution: Wet-weather control and advanced wastewater treatment
Assesses how Eau de Paris’s network role interacts with SIAAP’s wastewater upgrades and wet-weather controls to reduce overflow, treatment, and river-quality risk. The assessment identifies where targeted controls, rehabilitation, preparedness and accountable evidence can close the most material gaps.
Alignment: Public governance, tariffs and regulatory compliance
Evaluates how Eau de Paris balances direct public ownership, tariff accountability, investment needs, and European compliance obligations. Effective alignment depends on clear mandates, investable priorities, coordinated delivery and transparent performance oversight.
Capability Building: Predictive operations and climate resilience
Reviews how Eau de Paris develops predictive operations, data governance, cybersecurity, and climate planning to protect asset performance and delivery capacity. Sustained capability depends on workforce skills, interoperable data, institutional learning and disciplined implementation.
