In order to supply all citizens with high-quality drinking water, a complex infrastructure is necessary. Therefore, the price of water is mainly determined by the fixed costs of these installations, which are independent of the amount of water delivered. This means that only around 25% of drinking water costs depend on actual consumption.

Regional differences in water prices result from natural conditions, settlement density, the structure of the supply area and demographic development.
