The facility is part of a long-distance water supply for Chemnitz that was built between 1903 and 1908 and is still in operation today. The “ Central Ore Mountains Reservoir System ” is operated by the Neunzehnhain dam of the State Reservoir Administration of Saxony , which is owned by the Free State. The raw water transfer, in which the aqueduct is included, extending from the dam Neunzehnhain I to dam retreats over a total length of 13.17 km. First, a 3 km long water tunnel crosses the Börnichener ridge and with it the Zschopau - Flöha - watershed . Then it is led to the aqueduct parallel to the slope in a 1242 m long canal. After another 340 m long tunnel and an approximately 1 km long section of canal, it comes to the Zschopau aqueduct, which is also listed .
