Manufacture, installation and associated services for leakage control technologies enabling leakage reduction and prevention in water supply systems
The economic activity manufactures, installs, or provides associated services for leakage control technologies that enable leakage reduction and prevention in water supply systems (WSSs).
The economic activities in this category could be associated with several NACE codes, in particular E36 and F42.99, in accordance with the statistical classification of economic activities established by Regulation (EC) No 1893/2006.
Substantial contribution
This activity can make a substantial contribution to the following objective(s). The activity must also pass DNSH assessment against the remaining five objectives.
✓ Water
1. The activity manufactures, installs or provides maintenance, repairs or professional services for leakage control technologies in new or existing water supply systems, aimed at controlling the pressure in district metered areas (DMAs) of the water supply system to a minimum pressure. The leakage control technologies include in particular pressure control valves, pressure transmitters, flow meters and communication devices and special civil works, including manholes to maintain the pressure control valves.2. Environmental degradation risks related to preserving water quality and avoiding water stress are identified and addressed with the aim of achieving good water status and good ecological potential as defined in Article 2, points (22) and (23), of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC(1) and in line with a water use and protection management plan, developed in accordance with that Directive for the potentially affected water body or bodies, in consultation with relevant stakeholders.Where an Environmental Impact Assessment is carried out in accordance with Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council(2) and where that assessment contains an assessment of the impact on water in accordance with Directive 2000/60/EC, no additional assessment of impact on water is required, provided the risks identified have been addressed.
