Kymen Vesi
Kymen Vesi Oy is responsible for water supply management and water treatment and disposal, servicing Kotka, south Kouvola and Pyhtää. It was originally founded in 1914 as Kotkan Vesi. It merged with the regional water suppliers in both Pyhtää and Anjalankoski to become Kymen Vesi on 1 January 2007. All the municipalities retained some percentage of ownership in the newly established company (Kotka 79%, Kouvola 18% and Pyhtää 3%).
The company vision is taking responsibility for the sustainability, growth and development for the water environment. It is supported by three business objectives:
Trusted company, safe water, water efficient regions.
