vízterhelését

Vízterhelését is a term used in Hungary to describe the water-metering system for measuring water consumption of households and businesses. The term is often used interchangeably with vízszolgáltatás, which refers to the provision of water services.

In Hungary, vízterhelését is generally handled by local water utilities, which are responsible for reading and maintaining water meters, issuing bills to consumers, and resolving any issues related to water consumption. The main goal of vízterhelését is to ensure that water users pay for the amount of water they consume, and that the costs are proportional to their usage.

Vízterhelését is usually based on a volume-based tariff system, where the price of water is directly linked to the amount of water consumed. The tariffs can vary depending on different factors such as the size of the household, the type of water service (e.g., residential, commercial, or industrial), and the location of the property.

Households and businesses are typically required to pay for both the initial supply of water and the transportation costs of treated water from the treatment plant to the distribution network and to the individual customer's property. In some cases, additional fees may be applied for other services such as sewerage and drainage.

Overall, vízterhelését plays an essential role in Hungary's water management system by promoting water efficiency, reducing water waste, and ensuring fair distribution of water supply costs among consumers.
