After heavy rain: Questions about empty retention basin in Großmugl
In the large community of Großmugl, unexpected floods occur after the massive rains in the mid -September. The catastral communities are particularly affected, where, despite the construction of several retention basins, large parts of towns such as Roseldorf have been under water. A crucial element of the problem is the fact that some of these retention basins were never full, which brings residents to the question of what the money invested was good for if they could not be used.
Mayor Christoph Mitterhauser is aware of the situation and explains why the pools were not full. "The three retention basins with float facilities are technical systems that are only designed for heavy rain events. In this case, however, the amount of rain was not sufficient, so the pools remained empty," he explains.

To prevent further damage, Mitterhauser turned to the district administration of Korneuburg and asked for permission for a manual partial closure of the pools. "I had to make sure that this closure has no further risks, such as a dam break," explains Mitterhauser. On Sunday morning he finally received the release and the fire brigades implemented the measure.
In order to avoid such problems in the future, the mayor has already received talks with the responsible authorities and technicians. "We need a different solution for these pools," he emphasizes. The proposal provides to replace the current swimming control with a more effective alternative after the necessary water law permits are obtained. The civil technician Ernst Grand has started preparations for this conversion to find a solution as soon as possible.
Mitterhauser has assured that the renovation measures are important to him: "I will ensure that the necessary steps are taken until the changes are approved and the conversion can be realized." For more information on this topic there are comprehensive details here .
