Karlstein secures water supply through new cooperation with EMS!
On October 30, 2025, a groundbreaking step for the water supply in the municipality of Karlstein am Main was announced. The Main-Spessart energy supply (EMS) takes full responsibility for the water pipe network, which also includes the house connections. According to the information from Aschaffenburg news The cooperation will not only ensure maintenance and repairs, but also provide 24-hour on-call service in the event of malfunctions. This is intended to sustainably improve security of supply for citizens.
As part of a four-month transition phase, the technical processes in the drinking water network will be tested and adjusted together. The aim is to ensure smooth operations and to be able to realistically assess future costs and expenses. Mayor Peter Kreß emphasizes that this cooperation strengthens the reliability and future security of the water supply in Karlstein.
Joint efforts for greater security
The cooperation between the municipality of Karlstein and EMS is part of a larger trend to improve water supplies in several municipalities. Stadtwerke Emsdetten (SWE) also recently signed contracts to increase security of supply in surrounding towns such as Horstmar and Laer. Loud Emsdetten public utilities Incidents such as a burst pipe at the end of 2023 underlined the urgency of ensuring water supplies in the event of a disruption.
In a joint effort, a gap was created for the new water transport pipelines, which will benefit the mountain communities of Laer, Horstmar, Schöppingen and Metelen. This inter-municipal cooperation is particularly important in times of climate change, as Mayor Christoph Gottheil emphasizes. The new connection will significantly improve the water supply for all communities involved.
In summary, it can be said that the water supply initiatives in Karlstein and the region not only make sense, but also show signs of forward-looking planning and cooperation. It can be said with good reason: the municipalities show that they have a good hand when it comes to their infrastructure and thus also the quality of life of their residents.
