Vienna is investing 100 million euros for first -class water supply!

Rohrergasse, 1160 Wien, Österreich - Vienna faces a significant improvement in its water infrastructure! The city administration worked with high pressure on the completion of the 3rd main line north, which is now about to be completed. Climatic Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky emphasized when visiting the construction site that these large transport lines are the "arteries of the Viennese water supply" and are responsible for distributing the valuable high water water from the Alps. The management, which has a total length of around 8.5 kilometers, will make a decisive contribution to supplying urban development areas with high -quality drinking water. The last pipes in the district will be relocated by the end of February before the line is rinsed and tested for their water quality, such as wien.gv.at reported.

Another aspect of the Viennese water management illuminates the existence of 16 drinking hydropower plants, which produce energy from the valued water supply. These systems work without pump use and can generate up to 150 kilometers of electricity. Whole cities can even be supplied from the power plants, while the quality of the drinking water is always preserved. The fact that the drinking water supply has priority is a major reason why the company is ensured by special bypass systems. These systems guarantee that even in the event of an accident, enough water will flow for the population, such as SmartCity.wien.gv.at explained.

long -term vision for water supply

The city's investments in the water infrastructure not only ensure the water supply of the existing population, but also laid the basis for future generations. Every year around 100 million euros are invested in the expansion and renovation of the pipe network. This is part of a comprehensive plan to improve the water supply in Vienna and to transform the city into a modern "smart city". The managing director of Wiener Wasser, Paul Hellmeier, mentioned that more than one percent of the total pipe network of 3,100 kilometers is being renovated annually. This will not only strengthen the stability of the water supply system, but also promote the environment through the use of renewable energies from the drinking hydropower plants.
