We are moving to a new house for which the owner said I have to pay water charger at the end of every year.

1. Do any have idea how much does water come for a house(1000 Brussels) where 2 people stay. I don't have any idea of how much it would cost.

2. Having gas for heating is an advantage of disadvantage in terms of expense?

Can anyone help me on this.

Water will depend on your consumption as will gas.

My water consumption is 140m3 for 6 and I pay 350 euro per year. I d say possibly half average consumption we re very careful

Hi. Thanks a lot for the reply. As per your statement it is "140m3 for 6 and I pay 350 euro per year".
So you pay 350 EUR for all 6 people together or it is only for you?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

As stated 6 of us consume 140m3 per year in Brussels region and are charged, 350 euro. Brussels water is cheaper than flanders water. 140m3 is under average consumption. That is just over 23m3 each for the year. Your bill will depend on your consumption and where you live.

Find the name of water company and look up their prices. Same for your chosen gas supplier.

Dear,

You can find the prices on the website of the water company:

I would be confident Watergroep do not supply water to 1000 Bruxelles. I believe Hydrobru supplies water to that post code.
