Overview
Who is responsible for your water supply in Ixelles?
In Ixelles, Vivaqua supplies drinking water up to the water meter. Everything after the meter, pipes, taps, water heater and sanitary fittings, is private and the owner’s responsibility. Ixelles has never adopted a modern general planning regulation. Its only general building rules are those of 9 January 1948, alongside a 2016 regulation on night shops, so regional rules carry most of the weight here. Vivaqua states that the water distributed in the Brussels-Capital Region meets the legal standards but varies with its source, and publishes the hardness per address. A softener or a descaling interval is therefore set against the figure for that address rather than a regional average.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
A question about plumbing in Ixelles? Call us, we answer in person.
Leak before or after the water meter in Ixelles: who do you call?
For a leak before the meter or at the meter itself, call Vivaqua; after the meter, we come. If the meter keeps turning while every tap is closed, the leak is after the meter.
Who is responsible for sewer blockages in Ixelles: the owner or Vivaqua?
In Ixelles, as in other Brussels communes, Vivaqua is responsible for the sewer network from the outer boundary of your property (the cadastral parcel) to the main sewer. Any pipework issues within your property boundary, including blockages, are the owner's responsibility.
How does water hardness in Ixelles affect my plumbing, and what can be done?
Vivaqua publishes water hardness data specific to addresses in Ixelles, which varies based on the water source. Hard water can lead to limescale buildup in pipes and appliances, causing reduced efficiency and damage.
Do I need an agreement with Vivaqua for new plumbing connections on my property in Ixelles?
Yes, Vivaqua requires a written agreement for any new sewer or collector connections to private property in Brussels, including Ixelles. This agreement defines the exact boundary between the public and private networks and clarifies maintenance responsibilities. Knowing this boundary is crucial for determining whether an issue is a private plumbing repair or a matter for the public operator.
How much does a plumber cost in Ixelles?
Depending on the job and parts, from €63.60 incl. VAT (6 % for homes over 10 years old, otherwise 21 %).
When should you call a plumber straight away?
Close the main stop valve and call if a leak will not stop, water comes through a ceiling or it reaches an electrical appliance.
