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.
How is the number of units determined?
| Space | Number of units |
|---|---|
| Room larger than 6 m² | 1 unit |
| Kitchen | 1 unit |
| Bath | 1 unit |
| Garage | 1 unit |
| Garden larger than 65 m² | 1 unit |
| Room larger than 30 m² | 2 units |
We add up all the units up to a maximum of 9.
