Huge project in Moordorf: rainwater channels are cleaned extensively!

in Moordorf, a district of Südbrookmerland, started comprehensive cleaning work on the rainwater sewer system at the beginning of the week. This measure is expected to continue until November and should help to improve the functionality of the drainage system. The work is carried out by the Oldenburg-East Frisian Water Association (OowV) and include several road sections, including Ritzweg, Ringstraße, Mittelweg, Kampweg, Friesenweg, School Trift, Georgsfelder Weg, Seegrasweg and Ampferweg.

For cleaning, two special flushing trolleys are in use. After the sewage system has been thoroughly cleaned, the condition of the main channels is checked using a TV inspection. According to Michael Veh, the regional manager of the OOWV in the Aurich district, this is an important step in the preparatory work to create a general -wasting plan.

Creation of the general drainage plan

The general development plan will play a crucial role in identifying weaknesses in the drainage system. This is a calculated modeling of the hydraulic system, which is intended to serve to minimize flood risks in Moordorf. Often there is an overload of the existing surface drainage system in heavy rain events, which is documented in heavy rain hazard cards. These cards help to identify land in endangered areas and to encourage residents to provide self -provision.

measures carried out

The profiling and restoration of the main trenches, which are the responsibility of the community, is carried out in a second step. As soon as these measures have been completed, the measurement work for the main drainage system can take place.

As Wilfried Müller, the general representative of the mayor, explains, these measures strengthen inter -municipal cooperation between the OOWV and the municipality of Südbrookmerland. The knowledge gained should help to better understand in the future where there have been failures in cleaning or maintaining channels and shafts in the past. Requests regarding the work can be sent directly to the municipal administration by email.

It is emphasized that the work can be carried out during the day and only in good weather conditions, which can occasionally lead to traffic disruptions. However, residents should not be affected by the measures. The measures for cleaning are an urgently needed step in order to be able to reliably dissipate the rainwater even in heavy rain.

For more information about the work and any impairments, reference is made to the municipality's website, where residents can ask their questions directly. The details on the ongoing work can be viewed on local26.de.
