A major contract serving 31 municipalities

Since the 1st of January 2026, Saur France has been operating, on behalf of the Hydreaulys syndicate and for a period of twelve years, the public collective and non-collective wastewater service, as well as urban stormwater management. This service area covers 31 municipalities across Yvelines and Hauts-de-Seine, representing nearly 463,000 residents.
The contract covers the entire wastewater chain, from collection to wastewater treatment, and relies on key local infrastructure, including the Carré de Réunion wastewater treatment plant in Saint-Cyr-l’École and the Val de Gally plant in Villepreux, as well as a major network of main collectors.
As part of this contract, Saur France is mobilising its full expertise to support Hydreaulys in modernising the service, combining technical performance, innovation and a strong local presence alongside communities and residents.

Hylio, the local face of a public service rooted in proximity

A dedicated company created by Saur France to operate the Hydreaulys contract, Hylio brings together in Versailles the teams responsible for delivering the wastewater service daily.
Located at 2 esplanade du Grand Siècle, Hylio now provides a single site for both its teams and user reception: the company’s headquarters also includes a dedicated customer service area. This central location in Versailles reflects the ambition to make proximity a tangible reality.

Users can therefore meet Hylio employees in person and receive support with their procedures, whether related to a connection request, a construction project, a house move or a question about how the wastewater service operates.

This setup remains rare for a public service exclusively dedicated to wastewater. It is one of the key markers of the ambition pursued by Saur France under the contract with Hydreaulys: to make a public service that is sometimes invisible more accessible, closer to users and easier for residents to understand.

Behind the networks, wastewater treatment plants and technical interventions, wastewater management is an essential service in everyday life. It contributes directly to residents’ quality of life, the preservation of natural environments and the smooth functioning of the local area.

Saur’s expertise serving more efficient wastewater management

To guarantee a high-quality service, Hylio draws on the solutions and technologies developed by Saur France for wastewater network operations.

For example, the contract provides for the deployment of hundreds of sensors across the network and the use of predictive models to anticipate incidents, secure wastewater transport and optimize team interventions.

Hylio also provides local authorities with Viseau, a tool fully designed by Saur France, to transform the way wastewater networks are managed. This platform brings together operational data, performance indicators and network mapping in a single space, while facilitating transparency and collaboration between teams and local authorities.

These systems make it possible to improve knowledge of the assets, strengthen team responsiveness and shift network management towards a more preventive and predictive approach across the entire wastewater system.

"One of the differentiating elements of Saur’s proposal was the creation of a genuine physical reception area for users, which remains rare in the wastewater sector. A high-quality public service means efficient facilities, but also clearly identified contacts and a close relationship with residents. "
Jean-Baptiste Hamonic
President of Hydreaulys
"The inauguration of Hylio’s headquarters and customer reception area marks a new step in anchoring our teams locally, alongside Hydreaulys and as close as possible to residents. Fully mobilised, they work every day to guarantee an accessible, high-quality service, prepare infrastructure for tomorrow’s challenges and better preserve water resources. This new site reflects our ambition to be a partner that is present in the field, demanding and committed over the long term. "
