Fee for the supply of drinking water to households by type of charge — Municipalities — Cut-off date

In cases where several undertakings with different charges operate per municipality, a weighted average fee is calculated at municipal level. In doing so, the fees are weighted with the number of connected residents. Above the municipal level, the average remuneration is calculated as a weighted average based on the total number of inhabitants. The weighting generally includes all inhabitants, i.e. residents who do not pay consumption-related or independent remuneration. These are gross figures (including VAT, as far as collected). More detailed information on these statistics such as methodology, timeliness and comparability can be found in the quality report at: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Methoden/Qualitaet/ Quality reports/Environment/survey-water drainage charges.pdf?__blob=publicationFile & v=3
