Drinking water
Water from the region
To guarantee the quality of our drinking water, we have it analyzed in an accredited laboratory at regular intervals prescribed by the drinking water ordinance. Every year, around 100 water samples are taken from water extraction plants, elevated tanks and the pipe network and tested.
Water charges
The Eschwege water supply company charges fees for the supply of your drinking water. These are regulated in the water supply statutes of the district town of Eschwege. You will receive a corresponding notice about your water supply as well as the wastewater fee notice.
Here you can find out how these fees are calculated.
Water hardness
Water hardness is an issue in many areas. From the calcification of washing machines and other household appliances to the dosage of detergents and the watering of plants, the hardness of the water plays a role. But what exactly does it mean?
Here you can also find out the hardness of the water in your street.

Together with you, we plan your network connections and make them professionally and safely.
Waste water
On behalf of the district town of Eschwege, the Eschwege water supply company also bills the wastewater fees in addition to the water fees. The basis for this is the drainage statutes of the district town of Eschwege.
The amount of your wastewater fee depends on your freshwater consumption.
