Water and waste water become more expensive: Mörfelden-Walldorf raises the alarm!

In the cities of Mörfelden-Walldorf and Neuhausen, there will be significant increases in water and wastewater in the coming year. Mörfelden-Walldorf adjusts his fees from January 1, 2025, which is due to the need for investments in the modernization of water and wastewater infrastructure. The price of drinking water will increase by 20 % from 1.89 euros to EUR 2.28 per cubic meter, while the sewage fee is increased by 37 % to 4.11 euros per cubic meter. These measures are necessary to ensure the statutory cost recovery and to remain stable until 2028, such as BYC News

In Neuhausen, the water price is increased from 2.50 euros to EUR 2.75 per cubic meter. The fee increase, which was unanimously decided by the local council, takes place on the basis of increased costs and a forecast decline in water sales. An average four-person household will pay around 52.40 euros more for water and waste water next year. It is surprising, however, that the disposal of rainwater drops by 16 cents to 1.19 euros per cubic meter, while the fee for dirty water increases by 16 cents to 2.97 euros per cubic meter, such as Esslinger Zeitung

These adjustments and increases in the fees in both cities reflect the urgently needed investments in the infrastructure and pursue the goal of a more sustainable water supply. In Mörfelden-Walldorf, the sewage treatment plant is also expanded to set new standards for water protection, while Neuhausen had the fee calculations checked by an external company in order to create more transparency. The efforts for future -proof and sustainable water management are therefore in the foreground of both municipalities.
