Veolia is proud to provide essential water and wastewater services that help protect public health, the environment and quality of life in Richmond — today and for generations to come.
Veolia Knows the System. Veolia Knows Richmond.
For nearly 25 years, Veolia has been more than Richmond's wastewater operator. We've been a partner in the city's progress.
The Veolia Promise builds on that history with an even greater commitment to Richmond's people, neighborhoods and future. With Veolia, Richmond gets proven experience it trusts and gains greater investment in the community.
A Proven Track Record
When Veolia took over operations in 2002, the 60-year-old plant faced millions in fines due to regulatory violations. Today, the picture looks very different.
