Münster plans to expand sewage treatment plants: Your opinion counts until the end of August!

The city of Münster announced big plans at the end of the week: The lifting of the Hiltrup 13 development plan from 1970 is due to expand the sewage treatment plant on the channel island in Hiltrup-West. This project is an important step to meet the increased demands on wastewater treatment. This is accompanied by the introduction of a fourth cleaning level, which is particularly important for the filtering of trace fabrics and microplastics. According to tixio , the new technology should enable an increased amount of cleaning and help to relieve the environment.

The publication of the documents for this project takes place from July 21 to August 29. During this time, the citizens have the opportunity to give statements. These can be submitted either conveniently via an online form, by email, post or directly in the city administration's customer center. The City portal informs that the corresponding plan documents are also visible during the service times in Stadthaus 3, Albersloher Weg 33.

a step against microplastics

With the expansion of the sewage treatment plant, the topic of microplastics, which is becoming increasingly present in today's living environment, is also brought into focus. A study from the Replawa project shows the important role of wastewater treatment, which largely holds back microplastic particles in a wastewater with retirement rates of over 99%. However, according to the BMBF , not the main causes of the microplastic entry. Although they play a central role in the retention, the entry paths are more complex and require a comprehensive research approach.

It is obvious that the city of Münster not only wants to modernize the operation of the sewage treatment plant with the planned expansion, but also wants to make a valuable contribution to environmental protection. Especially in view of the challenges that microplastics and other trace fabrics have, the project is a step in the right direction. Future -oriented decisions are required in order to meet the challenges of the 21st century in the settlement water industry.

The citizens of Münster are now invited to actively participate in this process and to express their opinion on the planned measure. The possibility of expression until August 29 is not only a form of participation, but also an important part of municipal planning.
