When you buy a property on Bonaire, the water and electricity connections must be transferred to your name with WEB. WEB (Water- en Energiebedrijf Bonaire) is responsible for supplying drinking water and electricity on Bonaire. <\/span><\/p>\n

For an existing property, this usually involves transferring the existing connections to your name. For a newly built property that does not yet have water or electricity connections, you will need to apply for a new connection. Different fees and conditions apply. <\/p>\n

Existing property: transferring WEB utilities to your name<\/h3>\n

After the transfer of an existing property, the water and electricity connections must be transferred to the new owner\u2019s name. This can only be done after the property has been legally transferred to you by the notary. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is advisable to make an appointment with WEB well in advance, preferably 1 to 2 weeks before the transfer:<\/p>\n

    Refund of security deposit after sale<\/h3>\n

    After selling a property, you must request a refund of the security deposit from WEB yourself. The deposit is not automatically refunded when the utility account is closed. <\/span><\/p>\n

    Approximately 6 weeks after the transfer, you can request the refund by emailing info@webbonaire.com<\/a><\/span>. Include your customer number and bank details and attach a copy of your passport. Once the request has been processed, it takes approximately 10 business days for the security deposit to be refunded to your bank account. <\/p>\n
