Investment in Nuremberg's drinking water supply: New pumping station is created
renewal of the southern pumping station: one step into the future
The N-Energy, the central provider of energy and water in Nuremberg, presented the resuscitation of the south pumping station on Oelser Strasse for the next two and a half years. This measure is not only a technical necessity, but also a significant step to ensure water supply for the city's residents.
essential function of the pumping station
The south pumping works plays a key role in the supply of various districts in Nuremberg. It transports drinking water into higher layers, especially to the high -tales Schmausenbuck and Hoher Bühl. From there, the water supplies reach the South Clinic, Altenfurt, Fischbach and the Nuremberg-Feucht business park. A spokeswoman for the company explains that these pumping plants are indispensable for daily water supply.
technical details: How does the pumping station work?
The south pumping station consists of a machine house in which the pumps are housed, as well as an important compensation tower. This tower has the double function of providing drinking water for the start of the company and regulating the pressure in the event of returns. This is crucial for avoiding damage to the pipelines and fittings.
project costs and construction time
The N-energy invests around 4.5 million euros in this project. Due to the highest priority for the water supply of the affected districts, the southern pumping unit may be removed for a maximum of 24 hours. Therefore, a new pumping station is built near the existing work, while the existing infrastructure remains in operation.
meaning for the local community
For the more than 95,000 cubic meters of water, which are provided daily, the N-energy is dependent on different areas of extraction. The water requirement can almost double, especially on hot days. The majority of the drinking water is made available from our own waterworks, while a part is obtained from a long -distance line from Genderkingen. These investments not only strengthen the infrastructure, but also ensure water supply for the growing population and industry in the region, which is of central importance for the quality of life in Nuremberg.
