Bonus water discount and Supplementary water bonus discount

This is the expected and regulated bonus by ARERA (Energy Networks and Environment Regulatory Authority) through the resolution n°63/2021/R/com and subsequent amendments and integrations.

As of January 1, 2021, all social bonuses for economic hardship are automatically granted to eligible citizens/households. It will be sufficient for the citizen/household unit to submit the financial declaration DSU (Dichiarazione Sostitutiva Unica) to obtain the ISEE declaration useful for different subsidized social benefits.

How and when you receive the social water bonus

Arera reported that the process for the recognition of the social water bonus has required more investigation and fulfilment over time, particularly related to compliance with privacy regulations. Lastly, Resolution 13/2023/R/com updated the ISEE threshold values for access to the social water bonus for economic hardship and the facility classes, effective from January 1, 2023.

The list of users to be considered in economic hardship is divided into the following new facility classes:

a) DSU having households with ISEE ≤ 9,530;
b) DSU having households with 9,530< ISEE ≤ 20,000 with 4 (or more than) children;
c) DSU having households with ISEE > 9,530 drawers of Rdc/Pdc with less than  4 children;
