What does the water authority do?

  • Cleaning dirty water. Consider, for example, water from the toilet, shower, washing machine and kitchen. This is done with waste water treatment plants.
  • Minimising the chance of flooding. For example, by maintaining the dykes and the embankments. By pumping out water when it rains a lot. Or by retaining water when there is a drought. The water authority also takes care of clean, healthy and flowing water.

What does the municipality do?

  • The collection and processing of your waste.
  • Maintaining the sewer system. This is the pipe system that takes your dirty water to the waste water treatment plant of the water authority.
  • Taking care of general matters in your place of residence. Consider, for example, trees, shrubs, streets, community centres and playgrounds.
