The price of tap water in 2026

Last year, we had more income and fewer expenses than expected. We’re giving that back to you as a customer. However, we’re seeing that more and more people need tap water. In order to continue producing enough tap water, we need to expand. As a result, the price of tap water will increase in the future.
