New shine for Pfaffenhofen's sewage treatment plant: 23.5 million euros investment!

Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm, Deutschland - The sewage treatment plants in Pfaffenhofen and Dorfen are faced with massive restructuring, which accept significant dimensions both in terms of time and financially. In Pfaffenhofen, the new clarification basin number 3 was recently put into operation. This project is part of a comprehensive renovation plan to bring the sewage treatment plant to a stand that is prepared for the future. The overall investment amounts to around 23.5 million euros, with the construction of the clarification basin alone costs 4.16 million euros. At the moment, the sewage treatment plant can prepare wastewater for 54,000 inhabitants, but only around 24,000 inhabitants are currently connected, such as Pfaffen-today.de reported.

At the same time, the sewage treatment plant in Dorfen is struggling with enormous cost increases, which have increased by 80 percent to 13.37 million euros. This significant increase of almost 4.2 million euros is due to extended plans and complicated underground conditions that were not known during the initial planning. The sewage treatment plant is now designed for a capacity of 25,000 EW in order to meet the increasing requirements of a growing city, said merkur.de with.

In both cases, the need to expand and modernize requires a rethink regarding financing. The city administration of Dorfen plans to make fee adjustments, while the politicians in Pfaffenhofen deal intensively with the technical requirements and the financial framework. In view of these challenges, the efficiency of wastewater treatment in both municipalities will be tested in the coming years.
