Water fee in Lumo apartments

Here you can find information on water fees charged in Lumo apartments. You can check the basis on which your water fee is billed and the amount of the fee in your tenancy agreement under “Utilities and direct compensation”.

Water fee based on the number of residents is charged monthly in connection with the rent. Be sure to inform our customer service if the number of residents changes.

Water fee based on consumption means that, as a resident, you only pay for your actual cold and warm water consumption. This gives you the opportunity to influence your own water consumption and therefore your water costs and the carbon footprint of your home.

Water prices for residents are determined by each municipality. The price of cold water includes the local water utility’s tariffs for raw water, wastewater charges, and the basic fees charged to the property by the water utility. The price of hot water also includes the cost of heating the water, which is based on the pricing of heating energy by the local energy provider.

Water prices also include costs related to water metering.

Each water bill also includes a basic charge, which covers the cost of billing. Prices are reviewed regularly and updated in line with changes in water and energy rates.

You can monitor your water consumption in the My Lumo service*. The data is based on apartment-specific water meters and is used for calculating water fees and providing the service. Read more about how we process personal data.

_{*In some Lumo buildings, the monitoring view in the My Lumo service has not yet been activated. We are working on this and will inform residents when water consumption monitoring becomes available in My Lumo.}
