Rainwater
The rainwater charge is calculated according to the size of the built-up and paved areas from which rainwater drains into the public sewer via a sewer connection or on the surface via an adjacent road.
There are various factors depending on the type of area.
| Type of area | Example | Factor | Calculation value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof surfaces | Roof tiles, roofing felt, Eternit, corrugated iron | 1,0 | Area x 1.0 |
| Sealed surfaces | Asphalt, concrete, paving with sealed joints | 0,9 | Area x 0.9 |
| open areas | Paving with open joints made of sand | 0,6 | Area x 0.6 |
| Other areas | Grass pavers, natural stones with open joints | 0,3 | Area x 0.3 |
The sum of all calculation values multiplied by the fee rate of 0.96 €/m² results in the rainwater fee.
Changes to the areas
The owner is obliged to inform Stadtwerke Kevelaer immediately of any conversion measures and changes to the built-up, overbuilt and/or paved areas. This obligation arises from the fee statutes for the drainage statutes of the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer.
