history

The city council took Salzuflen - after a typhoid fever - epidemic in the summer of 1899 - on January 23, 1900 the decision to a central water supply build for Salzuflen. In 1902 the order for the development of the " Meierjohann'schen Quellen " was awarded to the Grastorf company from Hanover ; she immediately started the expansion. The entire system of the "Meierjohann'sche spring catchment" - including the pressure pipeline to the water tank on Wüstener Strasse - cost 232,783.54 Reichsmarks .

In 1913 the "Meierjohann'schen Quellen" poured 36,000 liters an hour and the " Meierschen and Thiesmeierschen Quellen " from 1909 poured 49,000 liters per hour. In the following years, the machinery was renewed for the purpose of greater extraction and new boreholes were sunk at the springs to develop deeper water layers.

The collected water ran from the water tank into the supply network of the cities of Bad Salzuflen and Schötmar .

monument

The urban water supply systems in deserts are architectural monuments within the meaning of the DSchG NW.
Based on the two source locations from which the early central water supply originated, the cast iron pressure pipes, some of which still exist, and the elevated reservoir on Wüstener Straße, the beginnings of the central urban water management of this city can be shown and explained. They thus fulfill the function of documents.
The importance for the people arises conclusively from the fact that when the central water supply was set up, not only was there enough drinking water or fire-fighting water available, but it was also hygienically flawless in contrast to the previous individual well supply .

The current owners of the facilities are the Bad Salzuflen municipal utilities .
