history
Main article:
Water supply in Hamburg
After a third of what was then the inner city of Hamburg burned down in the Great Fire in 1842, the Senate and the citizens of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg decided to install a modern pipeline system and efficient sewer system. At the same time, so-called emergency posts , i.e. hydrants , should be installed across the board in order to guarantee the supply of extinguishing water. In 1848, under the leadership of the British engineer William Lindley, Stadtwasserkunst was founded, which initially pumped unfiltered water from the Elbe into the supply network , and from 1893 filtered . From 1905, the city water art also promoted groundwater .
In 1924 the Hamburger Wasserwerke GmbH emerged from the city water art . From 1964, HWW supplied customers with groundwater only. On January 1, 2006, the Hamburg waterworks and Hamburg city drainage were merged under a common (corporate) roof with 2,437 employees.
The company's headquarters are at Billhorner Deich 2 in Rothenburgsort , where the HWW Museum WasserForum is also located.
There is also a joint customer center at Ballindamm 1 in downtown Hamburg .
