Construction water costs for shell construction

Hello everyone,

we have now already been told by phone about a construction water bill of €300(!) during the shell construction phase of our solid single-family house without a basement. So far, we have only completed the ground floor.
It seems a bit excessive to us.
Okay, a hydrant had to be tapped. But can it really be that much for us already???
Or are we then paying the costs of our neighbors who are almost finished???
The builder spoke of the bill since November (as already said, for us the strip foundation, base slab, and pore concrete blocks - ground floor are completed).

Isn't our builder obliged to provide us with the water bill showing our exact consumption?

We have now requested this bill first (let’s see how many cm³ it actually is and how many other charges there are).

But we would like to get an assessment from experts first.

Many thanks in advance!

So it's supposedly 7m³. Given what has been done so far, that's a bit much, isn't it??? The rest of the 280€ are fees.

Smells like a rip-off to me. 7000 liters of water to glue one floor and wash out some tools ??????????

In the end, it's not about the few consumption euros. But about the principle. The water just wasn't enough for our foundation and the few stones. And since the construction of the neighbor's house used the same hydrant, I think we should at least share the costs, right??? I will inquire again with the [Wasserwerk] about the high basic costs.

I suppose so. But it is a strip foundation and the footing. The contractor cannot charge construction water at the neighbor's, as the clause was removed from their contract. Of course, he is trying to get it back from us. It will probably be the same with the construction electricity, which we have not used much so far. But not with us...!!!
