services
Water supply
The supply area includes 100% of the city of Kufstein and parts of Ebbs and Langkampfen. The water dispensers for the supply are the Hofinger Quelle (spring water) and the Tiefbrunnen Fürhölzl (deep well water). The water values are perfect for both water dispensers. The theater hut elevated tank with a capacity of 6000 m³, which was built in 1994, serves as a failure reserve. This means that Kufstein can be supplied with water for 1.5 days. In 2005, a drinking water power plant was installed in the inlet of the theater hut elevated tank. The approximately 160,000 kWh of green electricity generated annually are fed into the municipal utility's low-voltage network. Currently around 19,000 residents are supplied with drinking water over 2,150 house connections.
Sanitation
Since 1996 the Stadtwerke Kufstein have also been responsible for the disposal of wastewater. Around 55 km of collecting canals and over 2,150 house connections as well as four pumping stations and four controllable rain retention basins are looked after. The connection density is 99%. The wastewater from the municipality of Kufstein is treated in the sewage treatment plant of the wastewater association Kufstein and the surrounding area.
Waste management
In January 2006, the Stadtwerke took over the recycling yard and waste disposal from the municipality of Kufstein. In June 2011, the new recycling center was opened near the biomass cogeneration plant at the Kufstein-Süd motorway exit. An average of 200 customers visit the recycling center every day. Around 1,900 tons of residual waste and 1,100 tons of organic waste are disposed of every year.
District heating
District heating was introduced in Kufstein in 1978. In December 2003 Bioenergie Kufstein GmbH put Austria's largest and most powerful biomass cogeneration plant into operation on an area of 15,000 m². It is used to generate around 70 million kilowatt hours of district heating and 45 million kilowatt hours of green electricity. Today, around 400 customer systems (approx. 3,500 households) are connected to the district heating system via a 30 km long main line, covering more than 60% of the entire heating requirement of the city of Kufstein.

Stadtwerke Kufstein also provides the population with cable television. The programs and services are broadcast to over 9,000 Kufstein, Langkampfner and Ebbs households via their cable network, which has been expanded since 1974.
