The Wegstetten sewage treatment plant, which went into operation in 2000 and is designed for 130 inhabitants, is now to be closed. The wastewater incurred will in future be supplied with the help of a new pumping station and a three -kilometer printing line of the Untergröningen collective ward. As part of the measure, the farmsteads along the route are also connected to the Untergröningen sewage treatment plant.

It is planned to implement the measures to shut down and to connect the Wegstetten sewage treatment plant between the end of 2022 and mid -2024; Commissioning is planned for 2024. The expansion of the collection sewage system in sub -grönigen should then be implemented as a second functional level, probably from the end of 2023 to 2025.
