Sewage levy for user

The municipal authorities spend money to maintain the sewer system. The municipal authorities repairs holes and cleans drains. Old and worn parts of the sewer system are replaced. The municipal authorities pay for these costs using the tax money. Users all pay a contribution toward this cost because they all drain water into the sewers.
