Good evening!
We are wondering if it might be possible to rent the standpipe later since it is very expensive, and in the meantime set up an IBC tank. In your opinion, would this be sufficient? We are building a 140 sqm (1507 sq ft) bungalow with solid construction!
We would rent the standpipe from the screed stage onwards, if needed. Has anyone done it this way and can share their experience? Many thanks!

During the construction phase, we used water from our friendly neighbor—a garden tap with municipal water supply and a Gardena connection that was easily accessible.
This was sufficient for all the tradespeople and only involved a symbolic consumption fee for us.
Just some information for future homeowners.

The utility provider must approve this in writing.
If I recommend someone to go through a red light because no one is coming at the moment... I also have to tell them that they might get into trouble for it.

If I advise someone to run a red light because no one is coming... I also have to tell them that this could cause problems. Exactly. And don’t forget that the "contribution" to the neighbors also needs to be declared for tax purposes.
In addition, the water hose must be certified for drinking water use, because if water from it is used in the construction site coffee machine, the water counts as food.
It’s really no surprise that everything is getting more expensive nowadays. We obviously make things harder for ourselves than they need to be.

Probably Section 22 No. 3 with an exemption limit of 256 euros. But here we are talking about excess income, which the neighbor probably won’t have.

Also, the hose must be approved for drinking water, because if water from it is used in the construction coffee machine, then it is considered a food product... For the 3 liters (about 1 gallon) per day, it’s more practical to have bottled still water from a discount store available there.
