The water law is of utmost importance to various industrial plants. For example, water is used as coolant, productive equipment or during cleaning. The certainty of the sequence of operations from water gathering and use of water to sewage cleaning and disposal is vitally important to many plants.

We advise on all questions relating to water covering licence or permission procedures for water gathering, no matter if made by ground water output or catching water from rivers or for sewage disposal. Moreover, we support your company in all contractual questions relating to cooperation with third parties.

Enterprises have to calculate considerable costs for water supply and sewage disposal. For water gatherings numerous German States invoice charges. The sewage disposal is linked to sewage charges if dumping in rivers or in the public sewage network is concerned. Further private-law charges have to be borne by e.g. industrial parks for fresh water supply or the sewage disposal in a private sewage installation. Law provides various possibilities of reducing charges when catching water or sewage disposals are concerned.

Moreover, the water law extends to private-law legal relationships e.g. in case of ’Contracting’ for water supply, water treatment and sewage disposal. We advise on drafting legally valid contracts.
