Water for a Barendrecht move: keep the key day separate from moving day
Evides guidance helps identify which account change applies to the home
Your furniture may arrive after you receive the keys, so keep the water handover details clear for a Barendrecht move. Start with Evides information and an official check of the property address. Review the tenancy to establish who pays, then follow the appropriate registration or moving process with the relevant reading and date.

About EvidesArranging water
Arrange water for your Barendrecht rental in three steps
Renting in Barendrecht usually means dealing with Evides, unless your landlord arranges water for you. These three steps follow the order of a typical move: settle who holds the account, confirm and register the address with Evides, then record the key-day reading and close the account at the home you are leaving.
Check who arranges the water
Look in your Barendrecht tenancy agreement for water in the rent or the service charges. If the landlord holds the Evides account, you do not register yourself.
Confirm and register with Evides
Run Evides's address check with your postcode and house number, then register from the date you receive the keys with the opening meter reading.
Record the reading and close the old account
Photograph the meter and its number on key day, submit the reading to Evides, and report the move at your previous address separately.
The supplier
Evides for renters in Barendrecht
Evides supplies drinking water in a southwest Netherlands service area spanning Zeeland and parts of South Holland and western North Brabant. Its online choice guide helps distinguish a move, a new customer and an extra address. For renters, the key questions are who pays the supplier, which meter belongs to the home, and which readings apply at key handover.
Where Evides says it supplies
The official list includes Rotterdam and much of Zeeland, but municipal exceptions matter: Wateringse Veld in The Hague is included, while Rotterdam's Nesselande is in Dunea's list. In Bergen op Zoom, Evides names Halsteren and Lepelstraat. A city name alone is insufficient.

Local FAQ
Questions about water in Barendrecht
Short answers about the water company in Barendrecht, registering as a renter, the supplier mix in the province and what to do during an outage.
Which water company supplies Barendrecht?
Evides is the drinking-water company whose service area covers the centre of Barendrecht, based on the RIVM map of drinking-water suppliers, which makes it the likely supplier for most homes in Barendrecht. Confirm your full address with Evides's address check, especially near the edge of the municipality or in a new district.
Can I choose a different water company in Barendrecht?
No. Drinking water in the Netherlands is supplied by the regional company responsible for the address, so you cannot switch away from Evides to a cheaper company. You pay Evides's tariff unless your landlord arranges and charges the water.
Do I need to register with Evides when I rent in Barendrecht?
Only if the water account is in your name. Check the tenancy agreement first: if water is included in the rent or the service charges, the landlord holds the account. Otherwise register with Evides from the date you receive the keys, with the opening meter reading.
Is all of South Holland supplied by Evides?
No. Luntero matches 53 city guides in South Holland, divided as follows: Oasen (20), Evides (18), Dunea (15). Neighbouring towns can therefore have different water companies, so check the address rather than the province.
Who do I contact about no water or a leak in Barendrecht?
For a fault in the mains, use the outages page or fault number of Evides. For a leak, a broken tap or a boiler problem inside the building, contact your landlord or building manager, because Evides is only responsible up to the water meter.
Record the details that belong to the Barendrecht handover
Confirm the address with the supplier and check whether water is included in rent. If you arrange the account, retain the reading and date from the relevant key handover.
Understand the water bill
Fixed charges, usage, advance payments and the annual settlement, plus the municipal and water-board taxes that arrive separately.
