Fun fact to know: The Netherlands are the only country with a tax specifically meant for the maintenance of our water infrastructure (excluding the drinking water utilities). And it varies based on location, typically being higher if a region is more at risk of flooding, as it costs more money to make sure these regions stay safe.
