The municipalities of Hausen ob Verena, Durchhausen and Gunningen also belong to this waste water association. In the future, this facility of the wastewater association is to be expanded and modernized with the support of the state of Baden-Württemberg. The reason for the necessary modernization is that the water quality of the Elta and Upper Danube has deteriorated. Therefore, the sewage treatment plant must meet higher purification requirements in the future.
