Fixed costs

You pay these costs for the maintenance of the water pipes. Think, for example, of the replacement of old pipes and the repair of broken ones. Everyone connected to the pipeline network pays the same amount. Only companies with larger connections pay more.

Taxes

Your bill also includes 2 types of taxes. The tap water tax is an environmental tax. Through this tax, the government wants you to be economical in your use of water. You pay a fixed amount for every m3 (1000 litres). The more water you use, the higher your tax will be. 

You will also pay 9% VAT on all costs above this.
