Drinking water in the tap around the clock and healthy, prosperous watercourses is something we often take for granted. Also that our waste is treated with the best technology so that it does not pollute nature.

All of this is in fact based on a well-functioning water and waste operation, an operation that requires high competence and stable resources for maintenance, new construction and ever-increasing environmental requirements. This is exactly what Vakin (Water and Waste Competence in Norr AB) stands for. We are the ones who, on behalf of Umeå, Nordmaling and Vindeln's municipalities, supply the inhabitants with drinking water, purify wastewater, handle household waste products and work for sustainable development.
