Domestic water supply for RESIDENT user:

Domestic water supply for Resident user means any use made in premises used as a family or collective home, by a contract holder whose residence coincides with the building where the water supply service is activated.

This type of supply includes all those utilities activated in non-profit public accommodation facilities (Hospitals, Prisons etc.) whose intended use is attributable to human consumption, in which the activities carried out are non-profit and the structure has a predominantly residential use. All the utilities activated for the supply of several real estate units (e.g. Apartment blocks) are also included in this category.

Domestic water supply for RESIDENT user with Large family benefits: Download the Form.

So-called “large families” resulting from the family status certificate (in Italy it is a certificate issued by the municipality of residence), are also entitled to subsidies. “Large family” means a family unit consisting of at least 5 members living in the same house where the service is provided. The subsidy can be requested only for domestic water supplies for RESIDENT user households and is calculated in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of Resolution no. 1 of 22/02/2011 which is shown below:

“The discount classes are determined by the introduction of a coefficient Nx (number of virtual units) related to the number of people forming the family unit according to the following table.

The utility referring to the family unit will be assigned a multiplier (Nx) coefficient that extends the consumption ranges, approved with Resolution no. 4/AATO of 05/11/2008; the fixed amount remains unchanged and is paid only once. The Integrated Water System operator will invoice consumption based on the certification issued by the Municipality or a self-declaration issued pursuant to Italian Presidential Decree 445/2000, certifying the composition of the family unit, which the user must send to the operator. In the case of Apartment block utilities, the Administrator must acquire such documentation and send it to the Operator, who shall take them into account when issuing the invoices”.

Domestic water supply for NON-RESIDENT users:

Non-resident domestic water use means any use made in premises used as a family or collective home by the contract holder whose residence does not coincide with the building where the water supply service is activated.

Supply for OTHER USES

All uses that are not attributable to those explicitly covered by the Regulations are qualified under this type.

Therefore, basically all water supplies for premises used for business, commercial, professional activities etc. can be included in this type of use. In addition to the above uses, depending on the availability, the Company may grant water supplies also for different uses (agricultural, industrial and similar).

The latter supplies are regulated by specific agreements and can be revoked at any time; during the contractual term, they may be temporarily suspended owing to force majeure or unforeseeable circumstances.

Users who stipulate this type of water supply contract can choose between the consumption or module billing method.

In these cases, Users have the possibility to choose the consumption billing method with which they undertake to pay the volumes actually consumed according to the bands in which the number of modules that they expect to consume in a year are subscribed.

Supply for MUNICIPAL USES:

The uses made by the Municipality of Palermo are classified as municipal use (provided they are not attributable to domestic water supply for residential use), as well as any other use that cannot be classified as residential, provided that the activities carried out do not pursue profit-making activities (e.g. utilities of the Region or Province governments, etc.)

Supply for TEMPORARY USES:

Provisional supplies of water for a period of not less than one month and not more than six months are classified as temporary use. A temporary supply may be granted at the request of the Customer for a period to be established. It is generally activated to supply non-permanent installations. In the case of temporary supply for buildings under construction, the duration of the supply is established according to the duration of the related building permit.

Sewage and water purification tariffs must be added to the tariff for each m3 of water consumed.

FIXED FEE (per real estate unit):

The consumption tariffs are applied per day, i.e. based on the number of days the consumption refers to. Tariffs for domestic water supplies are applied according to the consumption recorded in the single billing period.
