Nocturnal water shutdown: drinking water supply in danger!

In the night of Tuesday, December 17, 2024 to Wednesday, December 18, 2024, there is a massive interruption of the water supply in several locations in the Spree-Neiße region. Lausitzer Wasser GmbH & Co. KG (LWG) has confirmed that necessary work will be carried out between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. as part of the expansion of the drinking water network. The municipalities are affected Hänchen, Klein Gaglow, Klein Oßnig, Leuthen, Delete and Schorbus, except the old brick factory in Hänchen, like Niederlausitz-aktuell.de

The LWG urgently advises all households to store enough drinking water in good time. Visitors should also make sure not to use print -dependent devices such as washing machines during the interruption to avoid possible damage. After restoring the water supply, short-term cloudiness and reduced water pressure could occur, caused by harmless iron and manganese compounds. Homeowners should check the filters behind the water meter and, if necessary, clean or replace or replace it to ensure optimal water quality. For longer interruptions, a free service number is available, through which further information can be obtained, as well as from lausitzer-wasser.de mentioned.

This nightly water shutdown is part of a comprehensive project to ensure long -term securing drinking water supply in the region.
