How do you apply for a subsidy for infiltration crates from your municipality?
In the Netherlands, many municipalities stimulate sustainable rainwater management by offering subsidies for solutions such as infiltration crates. This can result in a nice saving for your project! But how does applying for such a subsidy work? In this guide we explain step by step how you can apply for a subsidy for infiltration crates.
1. Check whether your municipality offers a subsidy
Not all municipalities offer subsidies for infiltration crates. Therefore, first check the website of your municipality or contact the water board in your region. Search for terms such as "rainwater disconnection", "sustainable water management" or "infiltration subsidy".
Tip: Many municipalities have a special page for sustainability measures where this information can be found.
2. Check the conditions
Each municipality has its own conditions for subsidies. Some common requirements are:
- Disconnecting rainwater from the sewer.
- The use of certified infiltration crates.
- Submitting a quote or invoice for the material.
- Providing photos of the installation.
Please read these terms and conditions carefully to avoid your application being rejected.
3. Request a quote for your project
Municipalities often ask for a quote or a cost estimate of the materials and work. You can request a free quote from us for infiltration crates and accessories. You can send this document with your subsidy application.
Please note: Make sure that the quotation meets the requirements set by your municipality.
4. Submit your application
Most municipalities offer an online form to submit your subsidy application. Here you fill in your details and add the necessary documents, such as:
- The quotation or invoice.
- Photos of the situation before installation.
- Any drawings or a plan of action.
Tip: Keep a copy of your application and accompanying documents.
5. Install your infiltration system
After your application has been approved, you can start installing your infiltration crates. Make sure to take photos during installation so you can prove that the system has been installed correctly.
6. Declare the subsidy
After installation, you often have to fill out a second form to actually get the subsidy paid out. This form usually goes together with:
- Photos of the installed infiltration crates.
- A copy of the invoice.
- If necessary, proof of disconnection from the sewer.
The municipality will assess your application and then pay out the subsidy amount.
