Klosterneuburg secures drinking water future with a new fountain project!

Kritzendorfer Au, Klosterneuburg, Österreich - In mid -February 2025, the city of Klosterneuburg started building the new “Brunnen VI” project in Kritzendorfer Au. This new fountain system is essential for local drinking water supply and is realized with a total volume of 1.5 million euros. The project stipulates that two fountains with a capacity of 50 liters of water per second, which corresponds to around 1,000 bathtub fillings. This reported Noen.at

planned is that the fountains will be put into operation in spring 2026. This measure has become necessary because the water requirement in Klosterneuburg has increased due to longer dry periods. Mayor Christoph Kaufmann emphasizes that the project not only covers current needs, but also ensures water supply for future generations. "The reliable and sustainable drinking water supply from our city has a top priority," said water councilor Markus Presle, such as meinbezirk.at reported.

safe water supply through modern technology

To improve flood security, the fountain is constructed as a vertical filter fountain. This increases stability and protects against contamination because the filter route runs at a depth of 8 meters. A UV disinfection system is also installed, which enables immediate measures in the event of possible contamination. For further security, two rescue hills for animals are set up in the event of floods, which shows that the project puts both technical and ecological considerations in the foreground.
