Schönau breathes on: drinking water stays in despite the pipe broken!

Last week, concerns about drinking water quality in Schönau caused excitement among the residents. The trigger was a Facebook post that reported on a pipe break. However, water master Jürgen Hebert immediately made it clear that the tap water in the region is unexpected. The pipe break occurred in Schützenhausstraße, where a house connection line was damaged during construction work and there was a significant water exit. This led to an alarm by the fire brigade because water threatened to run into an adjacent house.

15 fire brigade forces moved out and were able to remove most of the water with diving pumps. To fix the damage, the water master parked the damaged management. However, the property owner is responsible for the subsequent repair, says Hebert. The further investigation into the cause of the incident is on.

The emergency services who worked in Munich during the incident used three diving pumps and several electrical vacuum cleaners. The assignment lasted a total of five hours and required close cooperation with the municipal utilities, which are responsible for the removal of the line damage. Here, too, the technical room with the electrical division was very endangered, which made this measure all the more urgent.

These incidents illustrate the importance of regular maintenance and review of lines in urban infrastructures in order to identify and remedy such problems at an early stage. However, the residents in Schönau can be reassured that they can continue to fall back on clean drinking water, while the Munich residents hope that the damage will be resolved quickly.
