Subsidy for disconnecting stormwater

You can get a subsidy for collecting rainwater such as rain, snow and hail. For example, you collect the rainwater in: basins, water barrels, rain pond or underground cisterns. This disconnection subsidy is for private property owners, not tenants. The application goes through Waterklaar. An advisor from the WoonWijzerWinkel Limburg can help you with the subsidy application. 

Approach

Subsidy can be arranged at Waterklaar.

Description

Disconnecting means not letting rainwater from paved surfaces of your building flow through the downspout into the sewer system. In many places, rainwater flows through the gutter and downspout directly into the sewer system. This can cause flooding. On the website Waterklaar. nl there are many tips to prevent water nuisance. Together we take up the challenge to stop discharging rainwater to the sewer, but to keep it where it falls. With simple means and a favorable subsidy scheme, you can make your garden water-ready.
