Leisnig fights against stench: New pumping works brings a breath of fresh air!

Chemnitzer Straße 92, 04703 Leisnig, Deutschland - in Leisnig you face the challenge of a persistent problem: the stench from the canal on Chemnitzer Straße has been resentment among the residents for years. But now the situation is being tackled: the wastewater pumping station at Chemnitzer Straße 92 is being renovated. This was recently approved by the city council after Mayor Carsten Graf received the necessary water law permits from the authorities. The measure costs around 166,000 euros and is part of the business plan for 2025.

The renovation, which is carried out by Erdmann Bau GmbH from Mügeln, is said to be completed by December. The work is planned between mid -September and mid -December without the sewage disposal being affected. The goal is clear: the quality of life of the residents should be increased, because in the past there have been complaints about the unpleasant smell. As early as 2020, unsuccessful attempts were made to use chemicals to reduce odor nuisance in the wastewater complex in Meinitz, which underlines the urgency of this renovation.

modernization for less energy consumption

A central component of the renovation is the renewal of two pumps that are to consume less energy in the future. For this purpose, a new shaft is made from polyethylene and is manufactured according to a modern 3D model. Tobias Ehlers from Veolia emphasized the need to select the correct materials because the delivery time is several months. The control of the new system will be placed directly in the pumping station in the future to increase efficiency.

The causes of odor nuisance in residential areas are often defects or improperly installed wastewater systems. Disposing liquids and lazy gases not only lead to unpleasant scents, but can also cause considerable damage that are expensive. In such cases, the LB Rohr and Channel Technology specialists in Mainz proactively support and use modern camera technology in order to identify and repair the causes of odor nuisance quickly and inexpensively. This expertise is also required in Leisnig to get the problem under control in the long term.

First steps into a odorless future

Because nobody wants to suffer from the odor nuisance that significantly affects not only the quality of life, but also the ability to work.

Leisnig shows that local actors and modern technology can also work hand in hand to improve facts and offer citizens a more pleasant environment. The city hopes not only to have solved the technical problems until the end of the renovation, but also to regain the trust of the citizens that such challenges are effectively addressed.
