Berlin water companies rely on RiskPlus

Berliner Wasserbetriebe reliably supplies around four million people in the capital region with high-quality drinking water. Every year, around 220 million cubic metres of drinking water are supplied to Berlin and neighbouring parts of Brandenburg via nine waterworks. As one of the largest water suppliers in Germany, Berliner Wasserbetriebe is systematically driving forward the digitalisation of important processes - and is another major German water supplier that has opted for RiskPlus for the implementation of the Drinking Water Catchment Areas Ordinance (TrinkwEGV).

Clear goal: Implement legal requirements safely and efficiently
In order to ensure the high quality of Berlin's drinking water in the long term, Berliner Wasserbetriebe carries out comprehensive monitoring along the entire drinking water cycle and systematic risk management. RiskPlus, a software solution developed by the Technologiezentrum Wasser (TZW) and Disy specifically for the requirements of water supply, is used for risk assessment in the catchment areas of the waterworks as part of the TrinkwEGV. The decisive factor in the decision was not only the technical accuracy of fit, but above all the efficiency gains: Berliner Wasserbetriebe sees RiskPlus as a tool with which all requirements can be implemented safely and quickly - while at the same time guaranteeing technical correctness. It is another important building block in the existing risk management system, which makes existing risks even more concrete, visualises them and thus also documents them.

Successful entry with customised training
In order to get straight into implementation, an initial team from Berliner Wasserbetriebe completed an individual introductory training course with TZW. The employees familiarised themselves with the central functions of the software and thus laid the foundation for the additional safeguarding of drinking water quality in Berlin.

We are delighted that Berliner Wasserbetriebe has placed its trust in us and look forward to jointly advancing digital risk management in the water supply sector.
