Garden water meter fixed installation

Avoid estimated costs. Depending on the municipality, this varies. With us, no wastewater charges apply to garden water, so you save quite a significant amount.

Oh, okay. Here you can have it installed. But then you have to pay rent and installation. You still have to pay upfront for wastewater and then apply for a retroactive credit. The caseworker back then said that unless I'm watering a jungle in the garden, it's not worth it. Nurseries, farmers, etc. do it there. For private individuals, it's not worth it.

With us, every calibrated meter is allowed. 30€. It pays off after just half a year. Really good.

Same here. Worth it after a few months. Also for towel properties. As long as you water regularly, of course.

Since I have a not insignificant large property, this will already be worthwhile in the short term. The municipality’s website states the following:

When registering such sub-meters, the following requirements must be observed:

· The sub-meter must be installed permanently in the house installation and sealed
· Installation by a recognized installation company
· Suitable installation site – before the consumption point, where the loss quantity occurs
· Confirmation of proper installation by the installation company
· Clamp-on meters cannot be considered
· Meter must function correctly for measurement
· Meter must be calibrated – after the calibration period (6 years) expires, the meter must be recalibrated or replaced
· In individual cases, consumption points will be inspected by the municipal utility

Now I have the problem that until now I assumed that the whole thing is simply measured by a clamp-on meter – as you have already described.
How can I possibly fulfill the requirements of the municipality mentioned here?

Well, you will have no other choice but to create a new tapping point outside with a meter inside.

That is hardly possible, it is a new building that we only moved into 4 months ago...
It is unreasonable for the municipality to demand something like that, isn't it?
