Sewerage costs: What you need to know
Questioner
The municipality of Rotterdam has started renovating the sewer. Is it right that you as a resident are saddled with costs to remain properly connected to the municipal sewer.Lawyer
Yes. You are required to connect to the sewerage system, only in exceptional situations (for example far from civilization) are you allowed to have another facility for waste water. Simply discharging into the ditch or soil is never allowed. The municipality is required to collect and discharge all household waste water. The municipality does this via the sewer. The municipality does this for you: you are rid of your waste water and the soil and surface water are spared. Sewerage is one of the most expensive facilities in a municipality. That is why you have to pay taxes for it: sewerage charges.Take the next step
