The development of turnover and sales in the water business is heavily dependent on weather conditions in the summer months. Summer 2007 witnessed frequent precipitation, especially in the high-consumption months of June and July, whereas summer 2006 had been characterised by an extended period of warm sunny weather.

As a result of these opposing weather patterns, the water turnover of our group of companies declined year-on-year by 3% to around 55 million cubic metres. The largest share of this downturn in volumes was reported in the 4^th quarter of 2006/07 (July to September 2007).

The operating earnings of the water segment before interest and taxes (EBIT) accounted for 9% of the consolidated EBIT of the MVV Energie Group in the year under report.
