Sewerage charge

We use the taxes you pay for the sewerage system to make sure that the municipal system functions effectively. We maintain the sewerage system, repair it whenever necessary, and build new sewers. 

You pay a sewerage charge because waste water is drained from your plot to the municipal sewerage system.

The amount you pay in sewerage charge is determined by how much water you use. This data is provided to the municipality by PWN (the water company). PWN never provides data for exactly one year (365 days). For example: one year you might inform PWN of your water usage on 1 November and the next year on 23 November. Therefore, we base our calculations on 365 days.

In 2024, the sewerage charge rate is as follows: €220 per 350 m³ of water that you discharge into the sewerage system.

In 2023, the sewerage charge rate is as follows: €205 per 350 m³ of water that you discharge into the sewerage system.

You will find the sewerage charge regulation at overheid.nl.

If you move to the municipality, you will automatically receive a sewerage charge assessment at your new address for the remaining full months of the year. Were you already living in our municipality? You will not receive a new assessment. However, you must pay the assessment that you already received at your former address. What must I do if I am moving to a different municipality? You will automatically receive a reduction for the remaining full months of the year.

You can apply for remission of the sewerage charge assessment.

If you disagree with the sewerage charge, go to Objecting to the tax assessment notice and the WOZ value.
