Overview
- Peißenberg’s utility confirmed a 64% rise in the water price to €3.69 per cubic meter from 2026, citing a massive undercoverage, with higher wastewater and stormwater charges also signaled.
- Schenklengsfeld’s council rejected proposed water and wastewater hikes based on consultant Allevo’s recalculation, and the mayor is now examining a formal objection that could trigger court review.
- Allevo’s figures for Schenklengsfeld project fresh water at €5.86 per m³ in 2026–27 and €6.22 in 2028, with sharp increases also for sewage and rainfall runoff fees due to past losses and infrastructure spending.
- Schermbeck adopted stable fees for wastewater and waste disposal for 2026 and will lower certain street‑cleaning charges by using prior‑year surpluses.
- Bönen proposed moderate adjustments, including roughly 4% higher household waste fees and a Schmutzwasser rate of €3.26 per m³, with final council approval scheduled for December 18.
