Vitens guidance for the new home and any previous departure
Use Vitens information to begin arranging household water in Rhenen and confirm the exact supply address. Check who pays under the tenancy before opening an account.

About VitensArranging water
Arrange water for your Rhenen rental in three steps
Renting in Rhenen usually means dealing with Vitens, 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 Vitens, then record the key-day reading and close the account at the home you are leaving.
Check who arranges the water
Look in your Rhenen tenancy agreement for water in the rent or the service charges. If the landlord holds the Vitens account, you do not register yourself.
Confirm and register with Vitens
Run Vitens'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 Vitens, and report the move at your previous address separately.
The supplier
Vitens for renters in Rhenen
Vitens supplies drinking water across a large part of the central, eastern and northern Netherlands. Its customer tools separate registering a home, ending an old account and managing an existing contract in Mijn Vitens. For renters, the key questions are who pays the supplier, which meter belongs to the home, and which readings apply at key handover.
Where Vitens says it supplies
Vitens describes its main region as Friesland, Flevoland, Overijssel, Gelderland and Utrecht. This is not an exclusive province-level rule: other suppliers serve some border areas and parts of Utrecht. Check the actual property rather than assigning a supplier from the province alone.

Local FAQ
Questions about water in Rhenen
Short answers about the water company in Rhenen, registering as a renter, the supplier mix in the province and what to do during an outage.
Which water company supplies Rhenen?
Vitens is the drinking-water company whose service area covers the centre of Rhenen, based on the RIVM map of drinking-water suppliers, which makes it the likely supplier for most homes in Rhenen. Confirm your full address with Vitens's address check, especially near the edge of the municipality or in a new district.
Can I choose a different water company in Rhenen?
No. Drinking water in the Netherlands is supplied by the regional company responsible for the address, so you cannot switch away from Vitens to a cheaper company. You pay Vitens's tariff unless your landlord arranges and charges the water.
Do I need to register with Vitens when I rent in Rhenen?
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 Vitens from the date you receive the keys, with the opening meter reading.
Is all of Utrecht supplied by Vitens?
No. Luntero matches 26 city guides in Utrecht, divided as follows: Vitens (25), Oasen (1). 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 Rhenen?
For a fault in the mains, use the outages page or fault number of Vitens. For a leak, a broken tap or a boiler problem inside the building, contact your landlord or building manager, because Vitens is only responsible up to the water meter.
Prepare both properties' water account details
Confirm the Rhenen rental arrangement and retain its opening reading. Review the previous account separately, keeping the final reading with that home's departure date.
Understand the water bill
Fixed charges, usage, advance payments and the annual settlement, plus the municipal and water-board taxes that arrive separately.
