Schiedam water accounts: choose the Evides request that matches the move
Check registration, an account move and any address overlap separately
Start with Evides household information for Schiedam and confirm the exact supply address. Read the tenancy to establish who should arrange water. Identify whether the task is registration, moving an account or adding an address during an overlap, then retain each property's actual reading and key date so the requests remain clearly separated.

About EvidesArranging water
Arrange water for your Schiedam rental in three steps
Renting in Schiedam 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 Schiedam 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 Schiedam
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 Schiedam
Short answers about the water company in Schiedam, registering as a renter, the supplier mix in the province and what to do during an outage.
Which water company supplies Schiedam?
Evides is the drinking-water company whose service area covers the centre of Schiedam, based on the RIVM map of drinking-water suppliers, which makes it the likely supplier for most homes in Schiedam. 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 Schiedam?
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 Schiedam?
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 Schiedam?
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.
Identify the Evides account task for Schiedam
Check the supply address and rental responsibility before applying. Where the move involves two homes at once, review the relevant additional-address guidance and retain separate readings.
Understand the water bill
Fixed charges, usage, advance payments and the annual settlement, plus the municipal and water-board taxes that arrive separately.
