Schönau construction site: New water pipe starts in summer 2025!

In the summer of 2025, the new laying of the water pipes begins in the main street, Höhe Friedhof Schönau. This measure, which was already presented in the local council in 2023, is supervised by the Schulz engineering office from Hirschberg. Due to the high prices of the first tender, construction was postponed. The completion of the work is scheduled until November 2025, and during the construction period, emergency care is ensured for the individuals concerned, reports the RNZ.

The construction work includes the construction of a new main water pipe, which is provided with slide crosses. In order to ensure the flow of traffic during the work, two construction phases are planned. In the first phase there is a single -track traffic routing on the western side, followed by the second phase with a single -track traffic routing on the eastern side of the main street.

financial aspects and costs

The estimated construction costs amount to a total of around 300,000 euros net. From this, around 42,000 euros are paid to the probe probing, 25,000 euros on traffic safety and 19,000 euros on emergency care. The economic plan for 2025 already provides 250,000 euros, which is why missing 50,000 euros are covered by internal savings without the economic plan to be changed.

A aerial photo evaluation has shown that there is an increased suspicion of residues of ordnance from the Second World War. Therefore, the construction site is probed on ordnance before and during the work. However, the current legal framework for this is inconsistent, as the ordnance portal explains. In order to ensure public security, ordnance exploration and disposal usually fall into the area of ​​municipal responsibility.

mutual decisions and citizen information

The local council unanimously approved the measure and financing. The citizens will be informed in good time about upcoming traffic changes and diversions in order to keep the restrictions as transparent as possible during the construction work.

The challenges in financing and implementing such measures are often complex. As is mentioned in the ordnance portal, the responsibilities and cost distributions must be clarified in advance, since there are differences in the country. As a rule, the property owner or client bears the costs for ordnance exploration and security measures, while the public sector is responsible for the elimination of the ordnance.

The upcoming work in Schönau is not only part of the renewal of the infrastructure, but also illustrate the challenges of modern urban development in regions with possibly loaded areas. The anticipation for improvements goes hand in hand with a certain degree of caution.
