Municipality of Montferland: paying the sewage charge

Do you live in the municipality of Montferland? Or do you have a business there? Then your home or business is usually connected to the public sewer. You must then pay for the collection of waste water. This is the sewerage tax. The municipality uses this to pay for the construction and maintenance of the sewer system.

The sewerage tax is linked to your actual water consumption. The municipality has outsourced the collection of the sewerage tax to Waterbedrijf Vitens. You will not receive a sewerage tax assessment directly from the municipality of Montferland, but this will be charged to you and collected through your Vitens water bill. However, if you do not have a water meter, the sewerage tax will be collected through a municipal tax bill, based on a fixed amount per person.
