Reasons for the increase in water charges
The increase in water fees is due to several factors. These include rising energy prices, the costs of construction work and increased personnel costs. In addition, appropriate measures must be taken to adapt the infrastructure to the challenges of climate change. It is recommended to develop new water resources and renovate the water network to reduce pipe losses.
The wastewater fees in Ludwigsburg consist of the rainwater fee and the dirty water fee. From January 1, 2025, the rainwater fee in the city of Ludwigsburg will be 0.28 euros per year per square meter of fee-relevant area. The dirty water fee, on the other hand, amounts to 1.57 euros per cubic meter of dirty water. These fees are necessary for the costs of wastewater disposal, which include the collection, transport and treatment of dirty and rainwater.
Finally: measures to reduce costs
To optimize fee rates, property owners can take various measures. This includes installing cisterns to collect rainwater and unsealing areas to improve water permeability.
