Fees

The fee for emptying the septic tank is based on your water use (German) and the current sewer fee (German), as with a sewer connection. Therefore, payment is not impacted by the number of tanks emptied and the volume removed. You will be sent a payment slip. Payment must be made to the appropriate accounting department of Municipal Department 6.

If you water your garden, you can apply for a fee reduction (German).

For any questions regarding payment, please contact the competent accounting department (Buchhaltungsabteilung 40) (German) of Municipal Department 6 - Accounting Services, Duties and Charges.
