Background information
The water utility charges for the household water it supplies. The residents of housing companies usually pay for water consumption on a monthly basis. Small properties, such as single-family houses, pay the water fee a few times a year. The price of clean water is affected by the costs of water abstraction, water treatment and the distribution network.
Property-specific water meters measure water consumption.

Wastewater treatment is usually more expensive than buying clean water. The charges for the treatment of sludge from septic tanks and cesspits and, for example, wastewater generated from cleaning poultry farms are higher than the charges for the treatment of normal household wastewater.
