What does the water board do with your money?
Do you ever stop to think about the beautiful area where you live, work, and relax? Water plays an important role in that. The Rijn en IJssel Water Authority manages the water in your area every day. This keeps the area safe, clean, and neither too dry nor too wet—both now and in the future.
You pay a water authority tax every year to fund this work. Curious about what happens to that money? On the website of the Rijn en IJssel Water Board, you can see what the water board invests in and where your money goes.
