Apply to connect a property to the public drinking water supply

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).

The municipalities are under no obligation to supply,

1. if the service cannot be provided for technical reasons or because the effort involved would be disproportionately high, and
2. for the supply of non-potable water, provided that it is reasonable to expect the consumer to limit this demand or meet it by other means.

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.
