Public water supply is a mandatory task that is generally the responsibility of local authorities within the scope of their self-administration. They are required to supply the population and commercial and other facilities in their area with sufficient drinking and industrial water, but may also delegate these tasks to other public bodies (e.g., special-purpose associations). For municipalities, these tasks are often performed by their own operations or companies (e.g., municipal utilities).
Municipalities are not obliged to provide a supply
1. if the supply is not possible for technical reasons or due to disproportionately high costs, and
2. for the supply of industrial water if it is reasonable for the consumer to restrict this demand or cover it elsewhere.
If the property is supplied with water via public water supply systems, you must contact the municipality or the responsible water supply company if you have any questions.
Mainzer Netze GmbH, part of the Mainzer Stadtwerke AG group of companies, is responsible for the water supply in Mainz. This is the right place for:
- Registering and deregistering your water connection
- Reporting your meter reading
- Drinking water quality
- Supply area
- Drinking water prices
Please note: The Mainz districts of Laubenheim and Ebersheim are supplied by Wasserversorgung Rheinhessen GmbH.
