Tap water units (eenheden)
If your home does not have a water meter, we base our calculation on the number of units in your home. These will be stated on your bill. The more units your home has, the more you pay for your tap water.
We add up all the units up to a maximum of 9.
How is the number of units determined?
The following spaces count as 1 unit:
- each room larger than 6 m²
- kitchen
- bath
- garage
- garden larger than 65 m²
The following space counts as 2 units:
- each room larger than 30 m²
