Amstetten: Higher fees for rainfall and dirty water soon

In Amstetten, citizens have to expect higher fees for rainwater and dirty water in the near future. The final decision on this announced increase will be made in the next meeting of the local council.

On Monday evening, November 25th, chamber of treasurer Natalie Essig outlined the Situation in the municipal council and spoke about possible changes in the fees. "We have to pass on profits in the water. In the event of losses, we as a community have the opportunity to pass on the increase or not," she said.

examination of the fee structure

On behalf of the municipal administration, the municipal consultancy Allevo GmbH was commissioned to calculate the wastewater fees for 2025. As part of this investigation, a post -calculation for the years 2019 to 2024 was also carried out. This showed that the municipality has a shortage of almost 300,000 euros, with around 176,000 euros on the dirty water and 123,000 euros on the rainwater.
"" These financial deficits must be compensated for by the end of 2025, "emphasized Essig. This makes it necessary to adjust the fees.

The question of the fee adjustment leads to violent discussions in the municipality. Citizens expect clarity about the exact amounts and the reasons for the planned increase. The next municipal council meeting could thus bring formative decisions for the residents. For more information and details on the current events, www.swp.de .
