Fier Water Supply and Sewerage Company was one of the first water supply and sewerage companies in Albania to be selected to be part of a Private Sector Participation Program. The overall development objective of the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Telecommunications, under that Program, and with the financial support of The World Bank, was to introduce an incentive based, multi-city “management contract” approach to improve water supply and sewerage services, and achieve financial viability in the participating water utilities of Durres, Fier, Lezhe and Saranda.
A five-year Management Contract was signed with the Private Operator - Berlinwasser Gmbh in August, 2003. At that time, the Management Contractor assumed full responsibility for the management and administration of the four water utilities.
