Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

Wastewater is not even on the bill

But it's somehow "crazy" that water is so cheap and the basic fee is so high... better the other way around to encourage saving in my opinion

I didn’t know this before and was shocked: 1sqm of water costs €1.85 The meter base fee is €11.60 per month... I pay more for the meter than we consume haha

Then you are already quite economical? Average consumption per person is 120l, which makes 3.6cbm or €6.66 per person and month. With two people in the household, you would be above average.

- small extras from us that deviate from their standard: venetian blinds + 3m glass sliding door instead of a hinged door in the living/dining area (although I can't say how much that amounts to)

That should be listed in the offer though, right? Our providers have itemized something like that very transparently.

Is that that much, yes? We have used 10cbm since 19.11 and I thought that was "normal." I read something about 150l per day for a 2-person household.

The scaling is nonlinear. Not as extreme as with electricity, but it exists.

With 1-2 people, the washing machine or dishwasher often runs only half full. That never happens with 4 people.

You water the garden the same for one person as for 3, 4, or 10 people living in the household.

As I said. With electricity consumption it's more extreme. Whether one person watches or 20 doesn't matter to the TV. But with water, it also plays a role.

So if 20 people watch me shower, I have a much lower water consumption than with one (provided it’s the right one). (sorry not sorry) I could be wrong, but I think I haven’t paid any water consumption fees so far. I would have thought the water companies would get in touch by themselves, after the connection was made the bill came by itself anyway. I have to take care of it soon.
