Water pipe is renewed in Oybin: main access three months tight!

From Monday, Friedrich-Engels-Straße in Oybin stands still for three months. The reason for the blocking is the exchange of a drinking water pipe that has existed since 1905, which urgently needs to be renewed. The measure was only announced to the residents at short notice and affects the main access to Oybin to Käthe-Kollwitz-Straße, which is particularly worrying for the "Oybin Valley" restaurant by Hagen Ullrich. The owner fears that fewer tourists will come because they are not well known and may not find it over.

HOLFGANG RELUGER expresses similar concerns from the "mountain sex express". He sees the need for traffic light control to control traffic and minimize the effects on residents and businesses. A detour leads through the municipality, but buses and emergency services can pass the construction site, which at least partially guarantees accessibility. Matthias Seifert, the Head of Technology, emphasizes that the full closure is necessary in order not to affect school bus traffic and comply with occupational safety guidelines.

Investments for safe drinking water supply

The total costs for the construction work amount to around 500,000 euros. This investment is part of a larger trend in Germany where there is a need to make the water infrastructure future -proof. According to the German association of the gas and water compartment, the condition of the water pipes in Germany is very different and individually adapted modernization strategies are required. Urbanization and the population decline in rural regions urgently require adaptations to the existing infrastructure. A foresight and long-term planning is essential to ensure the preservation of the values ​​and security of supply.

The construction work in Oybin goes hand in hand with the nationwide approach of the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport, which also set investments in the preservation and replacement of waterways in the "Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030". This shows how important it is to modernize the infrastructure in order to secure both transport and water supply. Projects are determined on the basis of a graded evaluation procedure, whereby the focus is on the economic profitability and the connection to important traffic routes. Infrastructure projects .

The renewal of the water pipe in Oybin not only aims at immediate problem solving, but also represents long -term benefits for the municipality. A well -functioning water infrastructure is invaluable, both for today's and for future generations. In this sense, the work in Oybin is a step in the right direction to master the challenges of modern water supply and at the same time to support the local economy.
