Request sewer connection

The municipality is responsible for connecting the public sewer system to private property. If your home or business is not connected to the sewer system, you can apply for a connection from the municipality.

  • The municipality will provide the connection up to the boundary of your property.
  • You are responsible for installing the sewerage system on your own property.

How does it work?

There are two types of connections:

  • combined systems
  • separate systems

You need a separate system if you want a connection for the separate drainage of dirty water and rainwater.

In the municipality, green PVC pipes are used for clean water connections (HWA), and gray PVC pipes are used for waste water connections (DWA). The standard diameter offered is around 125 mm.

The installation depth is determined by the municipality. This depends in part on the elevation of gas and water mains.

Each applicant (owner) must install a drain cleaning access point in the pipe on their own property, just behind the property line.

What to do

You apply for a sewer connection at the municipality.

Please indicate:

  • how many connections are involved
  • the type of sewer connection (separate or combined)

How long does it take?

After applying for a sewer connection, you will receive a quote from the municipality as soon as possible.

After payment of the amount stated in this quotation, an appointment will be made with you regarding the date of execution.

As a rule, this takes one to two weeks after payment has been made.
