The new year begins for otter finger citizens with a good and a bad message. The good: The drinking water costs from 1. January, less. The bad: For waste water, the otter fingers must also be 1. January pay more.

Otterfing –On a proposal from the administration, the municipal Council decided in its recent meeting, unanimously, to compensate for both developments. The “package price” of water/wastewater remains business as usual at 2.53 euros per cubic meter.

five years Ago, the municipality had last checked their prices for water and wastewater, and on the Basis of a calculation set calculation. On a rotational basis, a recalculation of now, the former Treasurer Helmut Closer – he went four years ago, in the retirement for the municipality of completed. In the meeting, he encrypted the actual revenue and expenditure for the past five years, and forecast on this Basis, the new fees by 2021.

In wastewater have not been shown, so that the fees were sufficient to cover the actual expenses. As you know, the municipality does not own the wastewater treatment plant, but disposed of into the sewage treatment plant Fellach the neighbor’s wooden churches, for which fees apply.

maintenance of The 30-year-old sewer network, however, is a matter for the municipality. “Recently, some of the camera inspections and renovations needed,” said mayor Jacob Eglseder (CSU), “has, of course, cost money.” Basically, the network was in good shape. Larger investments are, according to Eglseder. The more effort to compensate, suggested Closer to an increase in the wastewater fee to 11 cents to 1.33 euros. The Council followed his recommendation.

Gratifying, presented the drinking water calculation. Here I made evident, that the municipality had increased with the adjustments since 2003, some of it strong: “The Excess will be credited to the consumers now.” In purely mathematical terms, the relief would have been very clear: Instead of the current 1,31 EUR only 1,10 Euro would have been due.

But Eglseder advised that they did not receive the full amount back, but as a precaution, reserves. “Of course, would have been nice if the price of water would be decreased significantly”, said the town hall chief, “but we build for the investment.”

So, Kaçak Bahis the municipality needs to commit to next year, a salaried water master – a Post there were not so previously. “This is causing more cost,” said Eglseder. But above all, the construction of a new fountain is in the medium term. In order to secure the municipality in the long term, drinking water Reservoirs, also in relation to possible competition for Stadtwerke München, which operate in the Northern area of the municipality is the peak fountain Arget.

The new, third well of the otter finger will be adjacent to the two existing production facilities to the West of Palnkam. Eglseder expects a total cost of around 500 000 Euro. Next year, land negotiations should begin.

to be investment ready, drops of water price was only 11 cents to 1.20 euros – not coincidentally, exactly the amount to which the wastewater will be more expensive. “So this is for the consumer is a zero-sum game,” said the Closer, “the evens.” Every year, the otter finger consume about 300 000 cubic meters of drinking water.

At the suggestion of Michael Falk Hahn (SPD) to examine the administration, whether the “water reserves” in the budget separately.
