Drinking water supply
The WAL's drinking water network is currently 1,401 kilometers long. WAL is the operator of the waterworks in Tettau in Brandenburg on the eastern border with Schraden . It is the largest of its kind in the entire state of Brandenburg and supplies a large part of the network area with drinking water. In addition, a large part of the drinking water treated here is delivered to the Kamenz drinking water association .
The history of the waterworks in Tettau begins as early as 1952. That year, construction began on the first expansion stage of the system. In the summer of the following year, however, the construction site was affected by the unrest of June 17th . Around 250 to 300 construction workers from the Bau-Union Brandenburg and Bau-Union Magdeburg went on strike for three hours. Two years later, the plant was put into operation and expanded to a treatment capacity of 72,000 m³ per day by 1962. In 1957 a horizontal filter well was built near the neighboring municipality of Lindenau. In addition, between 1958 and 1962 a pipeline was laid to the elevated tank 33 kilometers away in Skaska near Wittichenau , from where there was another connection in the direction of Hoyerswerda .
After the fall of the Wall, the Tettau plant was extensively modernized. In the years 1994 to 1998 the machine house was rebuilt and an extensive well renovation took place . This project, funded by the state of Brandenburg and the EU, cost the equivalent of around 9 million euros. Three years later, the decision was made to build a new processing plant, albeit with a significantly lower capacity.
But first of all, the three raw water pipes to the waterworks were rehabilitated as part of a further subsidized project costing 1.3 million euros. In October 2005 the foundation stone was laid for the new drinking water treatment plant, which went into operation in May 2007 with a capacity of 23,000 m³ per day. This project cost around ten million euros.
From October 2009 to January 2011, a sludge treatment plant was built in Tettau to recycle the ferrous residue, which cost around 2.2 million euros and was again funded by the state and the EU.
Sanitation
The WAL's sewer network is currently around 520 kilometers in length. It has 152 pumping stations and 6 sewage treatment plants .
