renovation of drinking water pipes

The repair of the prisoner-prone drinking water pipes in Friedrich-Engels-Straße is not only a short measure, but part of a larger construction measure. Jena water plans to continue the work in the coming year; From mid -March 2025, it is expected to continue working between the junction on Kochersgraben and the Kernbergstraße junction. These comprehensive renovation measures, in which an investment of around 700,000 euros is planned, are necessary because in 2023 there was a broken pipe that impaired the quality of care, as was both Jenawasser as well as the report.

In addition to Friedrich-Engels-Straße, the Hügelstraße is also equipped with new drinking water and wastewater connections. The construction work in Hügelstrasse begins on July 15, 2024, and the road will be partially closed by the end of the year. The residents are continuously informed about all progress and necessary security measures to ensure the accessibility of their properties and to ask for understanding for the restrictions.
