Water supplier in Bergen
WML
WML supplies the centre of Bergen. Confirm your exact address with its address check, especially near the edge of the municipality.
About WMLArranging water
Renting in Bergen usually means dealing with WML, 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 WML, then record the key-day reading and close the account at the home you are leaving.
Look in your Bergen tenancy agreement for water in the rent or the service charges. If the landlord holds the WML account, you do not register yourself.
Run WML's address check with your postcode and house number, then register from the date you receive the keys with the opening meter reading.
Photograph the meter and its number on key day, submit the reading to WML, and report the move at your previous address separately.
The supplier
WML is the drinking-water supplier for Limburg. Its household guidance distinguishes new registration, an existing customer's move and deregistration, with account management in mijnWML. For renters, the key questions are who pays the supplier, which meter belongs to the home, and which readings apply at key handover.
Limburg is the regional starting point, not proof of address recognition or a completed account. Check the precise address with WML, particularly for a new building or unusual house-number addition. WML's faults page also distinguishes the public network from the building's own installation.
