Decreasing the volume of non-invoiced water (as well as water loss) was carried out mainly by cyclical check-ups of the water mains network and the subsequent elimination of water leakage from water mains. Water losses that are the largest segment in non-invoiced water in volumetric terms occurred mainly in outdated steel and grey cast iron water pipes. The next segment in non-invoiced water is the company´s own consumption where the volumes are still significant as desludging and flushing water pipes has to be carried out more frequently because of decreased consumption of water and so it is necessary to secure standard quality water in the water mains pursuant to the effective legislation (namely concerning the indicator of iron).An increased number of breakdowns in water mains network occurs regularly in transient seasonal periods such as winter-spring and autumn – winter which is repeated because of the movement of soil (freezing and thawing). Mild winters contribute to the decrease of the number of breakdowns significantly. With the aim to lower the number of breakdowns we focused on the preparation and compiling of plans for reconstruction of the parts with the highest occurrence of breakdowns, updating of transfers of measurements to the control room and carrying out of monitoring of the critical parts.The group that is in charge of the localisation of breakdowns in water mains secured the detection as well as the surveying of water mains network related to investment activities of external buyers. The cyclical echoing in the planned water mains was also carried out.

water loss reduction

water meters

There are 45,230 invoicing water meters installed within the public network. On the basis of customers´complaints 22 water meters were demounted and sent for official testing. In two cases only were the complaints justified. 5,126 water meters were repaired in total.

sewerage and waste water treatment plantsThis year the waste water treatment plants (WWTP) Kežmarok and Spišská Nová Ves were reconstructed. The reconstructions in the given areas will contribute to a reduction of the environmental load in the area and to an improvement of water quality parameters, mainly of the surface water.

The coordination of building work and work supplying was made difficult by the fact that the construction was carried out during the operation with the exception of operational breaks.The sewerage Hôrka, Podbanské was put in permanent operation.Last year we worked on the sewer overflow chamber Šišpľac Levoča because of a breakdown.The most important part of the operational activities of sewer and waste water treatment plants operation are trouble free wastewater discharge and wastewater draining, maintenance, cleaning of sewage pipes, removal of breakdowns in the sewer system and on waste water treatment plants, water treatment, management of raw material and waste that is produced during these activities. The impact on the environment is monitored, not only on the water in recipients in that the treated water is discharged but also the impact of the operation on the environment and the inhabitants in the built-up areas, and also the impact on the nature in the corridors of the sewage pipe networks. A considerable part of the operated area belongs to TANAP /Tatra National Park/. It is certainly much more difficult to manage areas like national parks and protected areas than other areas as they are controlled by a special regime and it is monitored by several institutions and watched by ordinary people as well whom the environment in that they live matters a lot. Our employees take part in all negotiations – at all stages of the investment construction, external repair, deal with requirements and complaints and give opinions on their justness. They contribute to better overall information and awareness among people they meet at work. We organize guided excursions at waste water treatment plants and visits to the areas with an expert commentary for those who are interested in them. We also cooperate with municipal authorities on the preparation and provision for construction plans.In the town of Gelnica a new waste water treatment plant Gelnica was put into operation. So the new construction „The Town of Gelnica – Completion“ was connected to the public sewer system.Wastewater was drained from 219,519 inhabitants and industrial businesses in the area of six districts. Wastewater was treated by 30 waste water treatment plants operated by PVPS, plc. Poprad.

Waste Waters Laboratory carried out quality inspections focusing on wastewater and sludge from the mouths of particular technological stages in the process of waste-water treatment within our wastewater treatment plants as well as the inspections of the producers of industrial and sewage wastewater. The extent and the number of samples that were monitored are in concordance with the Public Notice No.: 269/2010 Coll. and related legal regula-

tions in force concerning wastewater. The observance of the regulated limits of the released wastewater into the recipients is monitored, in order to ensure that no harm to the environment is caused.The Laboratory processed the total number of 4,199 sam-ples last year. Out of which were: 3,780 wastewater and sludge samples taken from our wastewater treatment plants, 226 samples from untreated mouths, 178 samples from industrial producers and 15 wastewater samples from water treatment plants.

In the area of waste management, waste treatment was in concordance with laws and regulations in force and in the concordance with hazardous waste treatment permit. During the operation of objects, 15,850 tonnes of waste were produced, out of which was 1.8 tonnes of hazardous waste. Compared to the year 2014 it was by 2,282 tonnes less. Their disposal was carried out by our contracting partners. Annual reports on waste amount were sent to respective environmental authorities in due time on the basis of which charges were levied for the waste produced.

In its operations, the company has small and medium-sized sources of air pollution. In total 8.453 tonnes of pollutants were released into air from the small sources and 7.703 tonnes from the medium-sized ones. Reports on their amounts and NEIS forms were sent to respec-tive environmental authorities in due time as provided by law. On their basis our company was charged levies for releasing emissions into the atmosphere.

The Quality Supervision Department provided for the in-spection of the quality of water, water resources, fresh wa-ter treatment plants, group municipal water mains, water reservoirs and the quality of drinking water at the points of final consumption. Drinking water supplied to the public water mains by Pod-tatranská vodárenská prevádzková spoločnosť, plc. is clean and free of any impurities, its quality is monitored in systema-

tic intervals and is in accordance with the Decree of NV SR No.: 496/2010 Coll., which specifies the requirements for water intended for human consumption. Based on continu-ous monitoring of drinking water quality within the water mains, it is possible to state that the quality of drinking water meets the European standards as viewed from the physical, chemical, microbiological and biological aspects. Drinking water laboratory tested the quality of drinking water in almost 1,527 samples. The quality was compliant with the required standards in 96% of samples taken.

customer service approach

At the beginning of the year a CCTV security camera system was installed in our customer centres in Poprad, Spišská Nová Ves and Stará Ľubovňa. Both customers and employees of

our company are now protected when paying at the cash desk in case of unexpected events.The change to a new way of mobile or „drive-by“ meter reading was the main contribution. The main aim of the implementation of the device was the continuous effort to improve the quality of services provided to our customers. They have also decreased the number of cus-tomers´ claims. The new devices call immediately our employees´ attention to a problem when reading a meter, for example when higher consumption occurs, it draws their atten-tion to an eventual breakdown. The device will enable us in future to read water meters

that have not been accessible for a long time - when telecounting will be introduced.We continue helping families in a difficult financial situation in order not to interrupt

drinking water supplies. Our effort is to provide at least a repayment plan to physi-cal and legal entities disregarding the fact if a wholesale customer or retail

customer is concerned. In the year 2015, 755 customers entered into a written repayment plan. This means that 94% of applications for a

repayment plan were met halfway by our company.

Every year an external customers’ satisfaction rate survey is carried out. The main goal of the survey is to gather customer feedback which is important to find out the overall customer satisfaction rate and their requirements. In the survey, standard questions were used in order to compare the individual answers in time.The survey was executed via standardized telephone calls on a sample of randomly selected 500 customers within the whole range of the activities performed by PVPS, plc. as follows: 300 inhabitants from detached houses, 150 le-gal entities including self-employees, and 50 inhabitants of residential buildings. We polled our customers to find out if they were satisfied with water supplies, the speed

of breakdown elimination, the access to information, our employees´ professionalism, the quality of services provided, and customers´ preference of services offered by our company. On the basis of their answers we also asked what their requirements were regarding our new products and services.The overall customer satisfaction with our services reached the level of 90.30 %. The overall satisfaction decreased by 12 hundredth of a percent compared to the previous year and the overall dissatisfaction with the services sank by 1.16 % which is evaluated as positive. Our customers perceive our company more positively than negatively.

On the occasion of the World water Day the company provided their customers with several activities. In the Testing Laboratory of the De-

partment of Water Quality water analyses were carried out free of charge where water samples were tested for nitrates. The water samples were brou-ght by customers from their own sources. 297 people used the possibility – some of them have no possibility to get connected to the public water main and others who supposed that their drinking water might be contaminated by nitrates because of keeping livestock or by another agricultural activity.

On the basis of the samples analysed, the maximum nitrate limit, which is 50mg/l, was exceeded in 35 samples which presents 11.8%

of overall contamination. The highest nitrate concentration was 174.4 mg/l was found in a well in Spišské Vlachy. The overall

concentration of nitrates of water samples brought from Poprad was 4.8%, from Stará Ľubovňa and the sur-

roundings 15.8% and from Spišská Nová Ves and the surroundings it was

17.5%.

premises upon agreement with our employees. Apart from the visit to the exteriors we inform them with the help of prepared presentations on various technologies and innovations of the company.

In the months of September – October Slovakia-wide media campaign under the name „Let us connect“ was in progress with the aim to encourage people to get con-nected to the sewerage network in which our company took part as well. The call for joining the campaign was realized on the basis of findings made by the Association

of Water Companies according to which Slovakia belongs to countries with low number of people connected to the sewerage network, despite the fact that in many munici-palities the sewerage network has already been built. Me-dia spots were broadcasted on RTVS, the radio Regina and they also occurred in print media on full page.

innovationsFurther objects in Spišská Nová Ves were added to our dispatch management and monitoring system thus the monitoring of selected problem sections was secured. The change of the radio network in 11 knots for digital radio sta-tions of a new type continued which secured the stability of the network and the resistance against weather exposure.Through innovations in GIS (Geographic Information Sys-tem) and the Operational and Technical Information Sys-tem elements of GIS and of planned maintenance were interconnected. Planning for regularly repeated activities on water mains and sewer mains was introduced. Transport requisitions were interconnected with work orders. The sys-tem of work procedures, check-ups, revisions and service activities along with the integration to further individual program systems was improved.Innovations realized within the fleet amounted to the sum of 479,708.53 € in total.Purchased vehicles: TGM 4x4 – 2 special vehicles, 10 passen-ger vehicles, 2 utility vehicles, 1 trailer-mounted work plat-form, 4 monitoring equipments, 2 SECURE scales, 1 Radio-detection RD 8100 device and 3 pulse generators PWG 2000.

The installation of further monitoring devices in vehicles – GPS (Global Positioning system) – 37 pieces, enables us to monitor vehicles and to create vehicle log books which part-ly reduces the administrative workload. An interconnection of accounting programs, transport programs and the opera-tional and technical information system for the verification of GPS data as a control and integrating mechanism saves time of accounting and checking individual vehicle travels depending on work orders.From the energy audit that was carried out within the whole company requirements for reducing energy intensity resulted regarding some operations – for example the ex-change of pumps – at the pumping station Spišská Teplica and drill holes in Liptovská Teplička which was subsequently realized. An important goal of the monitored period was re-ducing the costs for electric energy at the operation Waste-water Treatment Plant Poprad-Matejovce through more ef-fective use of sludge gas for production of electric energy in the co-generating unit. Compared to the previous year the production of electric energy increased by 31,115 kWh, ex-pressed financially – 3,738 €.
