Tecklenburger Land water supply association
The water supply association Tecklenburger Land is a Westphalian special purpose association , founded in 1959 as a district water supply association to supply the Tecklenburger Land with drinking water. The supply area extends to this day over the cities and communities of the old district of Tecklenburg .
prehistory
Ibbenbüren municipality and city
Since the supply of the city of Ibbenbüren became more and more problematic in the 1930s, the city of Ibbenbüren built a waterworks south of the city in the Teutoburg Forest. This 1935 near the summer toboggan run supplied the city area with drinking water .
Laggenbeck
Laggenbeck was partially supplied with drinking water through the Hectorschacht . In 1889, the areas at the towing were already supplied with drinking water. Since 1907 the pits of the Perm shaft and neighboring buildings have been supplied. After ore mining ended in 1921, the water supply continued. In 1929 the city of Ibbenbüren bought the waterworks from GMV for 10,200 RM.
Tecklenburg
The great fire in Tecklenburg in 1904 indicated the inadequate supply of drinking water to Tecklenburg. In order to close this supply bottleneck, a waterworks was built south of Tecklenburg in 1910.
Lengerich
The well water in Lengerich was often of poor quality because the wastewater from the lunatic asylum located above the city (now the Westphalian State Hospital) was trickled out. In 1934 a water extraction system was built.
history
Due to the drought in the summer of 1959, it became necessary to secure the water supply for the population. So on December 28, 1959, in the Kunze Inn in Ibbenbüren, the localities: Ibbenbüren City, Ibbenbüren-Land , Mettingen , Recke , Hopsten , Hörstel , Bevergern and Riesenbeck merged to form the Tecklenburger Land water supply association. From 1961 to 1966, Westerkappeln , Lotte , Lienen , Lengerich , Wersen , Ledde , Leeden , Brochterbeck , Dreierwalde , Tecklenburg , Shell , Halverde and Ladbergen joined.
The existing waterworks Tecklenburg and Lehen (Ibbenbüren) and the Hector shaft formed the basic supply. In 1966, RWE acquired the Brochterbeck waterworks, which had already supplied parts of Brochterbeck with water and had supplied the Nike power station in Ibbenbüren with water. The Riesenbeck waterworks was opened in 1967 in the Teutoburg Forest. In 1983, the chemical trichlorethylene was found in the Tecklenburg waterworks , which made the water unusable, so operations were stopped. The Riesenbeck waterworks had to close in 1985 due to poor water quality due to the high chloride and iron content and the associated treatment costs. On March 1, 1997, the association bought the Dörenthe waterworks from the Ibbenbüren mine .
The Schollbruch waterworks was acquired by Deutsche Bahn in 2000 . The Hectorschacht waterworks was also shut down in 1985 due to deteriorating chloride values and the necessary investments.
Current developments
As part of the planned new construction of the Dörenthe waterworks, there are currently (as of January 2014) plans to use the surface water of the Dortmund-Ems Canal (DEK) in the Dörenthe area as raw water . In the course of a water treatment to be modernized in the Dörenthe area, this is mixed with groundwater. The current extraction of surface water from flowing waters close to the Ems as a source for surface water (raw water) will be discontinued as part of a possible modernization.
Coverage area
The north and west of the supply area and parts of Ibbenbüren, Westerkappeln and Tecklenburg are supplied by the Brochterbeck waterworks. The Dörenthe waterworks supplies part of the urban area of Ibbenbüren and the mining facilities and the power plant with drinking water. The southern communities are supplied by Schollbruch, while Lehen supplies Riesenbeck with its water.
In addition to its own waterworks, the Thiene waterworks of the Osnabrück municipal utility also supplies the Lotte community and the northern part of the Westerkappeln community with water.
