Gigantic water project in Lower Austria: The largest memory in the world is created!
In St. Egyden in the Neunkirchen district, the largest drinking water container in the world is currently being built. The construction, which extends larger than a soccer field and is up to 140 meters high, will secure the water supply for Vienna by 2050. Currently, 600,000 liters of water are stored in four underground chambers in order to meet the steadily increasing water requirement, which is forecast by 2050 to around 460,000 cubic meters per day. Climate change also has challenges that endanger the availability of spring water. According to Astrid Rompolt, press spokeswoman for Wiener Wasser, the memory is to be expanded by two more chambers to a total of one billion liters of water by the end of 2028, with the costs estimated to be estimated to be 98 million euros.
Technical masterpiece for the future
The new closed drinking water memory in St. Egyden, which is part of the first high source line, is operated without pumps. So the water flows through the chambers to Vienna. The city of Vienna currently costs a significant sum and is a massive infrastructure project that should not only increase quality, but also quantity in water supply. The construction work is already benefiting from the creation of local jobs and added value in the region, as well as the NÖN economic development speaks.
