Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
Danish term or phrase: VVS
In "Den manglende funktion af VVS - el, kloak og stikledningsinstallationer"

This is an insurance contract and, I suspect this relates to a water system, mains-water supply - but I'd like to know what it stands for. No help in my Danish-English technical dictionary.

TIA
