Water supply statutes of the local public water supply authority and, if applicable, other related statutes (e.g. water fee statutes) and

If you are the owner of a property on which drinking water is required, you must have the property connected to the supply system of the responsible municipality (local authority or special purpose association). This is associated with costs.

The public water supply is a mandatory task that is generally the responsibility of the municipalities as part of their self-administration. They must provide the population and commercial and other facilities in their area with an adequate supply of drinking and industrial water, but can also transfer these tasks to other public bodies (e.g. special-purpose associations). Municipalities often also have their own operations or companies (e.g. municipal utilities).

Municipalities are not obliged to supply,

1. if the supply is not technically possible or is disproportionately expensive and
2. for the supply of service water if it is reasonable for the consumer to limit this demand or to cover it elsewhere.

If the property is supplied with water via public water supply systems, you must contact the municipality or the responsible water supply company if you have any questions.

You must ask the respective municipality or the responsible special-purpose association which documents are required for the specific occasion. They have often published the relevant water supply statutes and information on application documents on their website.

Requirements for connection to the public water supply system and the purchase of water / drinking water are regulated in the water supply statutes of the respective municipality or the responsible special-purpose association. The technical requirements must exist or be feasible with reasonable effort.

As a rule, you must

• be the owner of the property to be connected; heritable building rights or apartment owners are generally equivalent to the owner, and
• the property must be located close to an operational public supply system.

The municipalities charge fees for the public water supply. The amount of the fees is determined by each municipality or each special-purpose association/water supply association on the basis of a cost calculation under its own responsibility.

Detailed information on water supply fees can be found in the statutes of the respective municipality or the responsible water supply association.

In addition to the volume charge, a basic charge is usually levied irrespective of the volume purchased. Under certain circumstances, a connection fee may also be due. More detailed information on this can also be found in the respective municipalities or the responsible water supply association and in the corresponding contribution and fee statutes. Depending on the financing model chosen by your local authority, property and house connection costs may also be incurred.

Find out from your municipality or your special-purpose association / water supply association whether your property is located close to an operational public water supply line. If so, you can submit an application for the establishment of a drinking water connection. As a rule, the municipality has posted a corresponding application form on its website. Here you will be informed about the most important information and documents that have to be submitted for the application. You can also obtain paper forms from the municipal, district or special-purpose association administration. Often, an informal written application is also sufficient. A plumbing company approved for your domestic water supply system must usually be involved in the application process.
The municipality or the special-purpose association will inform you about the further procedure after the application has been submitted.
