Our mission

Imagining and bringing to life more efficient, sustainable and energy-efficient water treatment facilities

Pollution, growing demand for water, water stress and climate change are all having an ever-increasing impact on resources and ecosystems, creating new environmental and social challenges for local communities.

Imagining the water treatment plants of tomorrow means giving each local authority the means to develop its territory sustainably by adapting their production tools to the ecological transition. Stereau supports its customers at every stage of their projects to : 

  • provide sustainable access to an essential resource in all circumstances,
  • reconcile water performance and energy efficiency, by integrating latest-generation, more energy-efficient solutions at the heart of our plants, 
  •  preserve natural resources, recover and recycle them efficiently.

Our raison d'être

Acting, advocating, federating all stakeholders to give water the value it deserves

Beyond our core business – managing water responsibly, in sufficient quality and quantity – we are committed to acting and convincing, so that together we invest in saving water and invent new models for preserving our planet’s most precious resource.

For us, giving water back the value it deserves means designing and building sustainable, high-performance infrastructures, designed from the outset to save, exploit and make the most of this precious resource.
It also means modernizing existing facilities, giving local authorities the means to anticipate, prevent and mitigate the effects of pollution and climate change on health and the environment. Finally, it means giving each region and its stakeholders the means to develop harmoniously, while contributing to the quality of life of the local population and maintaining local economic, agricultural, industrial and tourist activities.

Our history

We have mastered all the skills required to build complex water treatment facilities for over 60 years.

Since its creation, Stereau has been providing its water treatment engineering expertise to local authorities wishing to build, renovate or modernize their water treatment facilities.

Created in 1959 to meet the challenge of water supply in rural areas, Saur’s Grands Travaux division became Stereau (Société générale d’assainissement et de stérilisation des eaux) in 1979. Over the decades, it has broadened its range of activities, increased its number of sites and developed numerous treatment processes.

Exporting its know-how internationally, Stereau continues to innovate to meet the growing needs of local authorities, with the same focus on each territory: developing and offering turnkey solutions that provide sustainable access to an essential service.
