According to the Bavarian Water Act, wastewater disposal is a mandatory task of the municipalities and cities and is carried out by them within their own sphere of influence. The municipalities and cities (or municipal wastewater associations) build and operate sewer networks (for wastewater collection and discharge) and sewage treatment plants (for wastewater treatment).
Wastewater may only be discharged into bodies of water if its quality meets certain minimum requirements, which are laid down in the Federal Water Act and specified in the Wastewater Ordinance.
To ensure that the municipalities and cities can collect the wastewater and comply with the requirements, they regulate the scope of the municipal area to be sewered and the requirements for the type and quality of the wastewater to be discharged into the sewer system by households and commercial enterprises through the municipal drainage bylaws. The statutes on contributions and charges regulate the financing of the wastewater facilities via (one-off) contributions and (ongoing) charges. In those areas of the municipal area where no public sewer system is installed, proper wastewater disposal is the responsibility of the property owners and is usually carried out via small sewage treatment plants.
If you have any questions about wastewater disposal (sewer connection options, compulsory connection and use, amount of contributions and fees, wastewater treatment, effluent values of the sewage treatment plant, etc.), it is best to contact your local authority first.
