Procedure details
Description
The public water supply is a task of general interest (Section 50 (1) of the Water Resources Act) and is a mandatory task of the municipalities in Bavaria within their own sphere of activity (Art. 57 (2) of the Municipal Code).
The municipalities and special-purpose associations regulate the scope of their supply area and the amount of water supply contributions and charges by means of bylaws. As a rule, there is an obligation to connect and use water in the supply areas.
If you have any questions about the water connection (e.g. property connection, garden connection), contributions and fees or the quality of your drinking water, please contact your municipality or town first.
For specialist questions on drinking water hygiene, please contact the health department of your district office.
