Pay your household bills in Santander
In Santander, water is supplied by Aqualia, the company that holds the council’s water concession. Since 1 January 2026 the rubbish fee is a separate yearly bill from the council, and the property tax (IBI) is another yearly bill.
- Why it matters
- Water, the rubbish fee and the property tax (IBI) are billed differently from city to city, and the rubbish fee often arrives on the water bill.
- When
- You have moved into a home in Santander and need to know which local bills to expect.
