Large project started: Clean gravel lakes for Ettmarshausen in sight!

An important milestone for the region was set on June 13, 2025 with the official groundbreaking ceremony of a large project on the edge of Ettmarshausen. In addition to improving the quality of life, this project will also contribute to the long -term ensuring environmental conditions. The project includes the construction of a storage space channel that will run between Immelborn and Ettmarshausen, and aims to significantly optimize wastewater disposal in the region.

The preparatory work started a few days ago, and several tons of earth will be moved in the coming weeks. The completion of the project is planned for 2027. Responsibility for the project lies with the Bad Salzungen (WVS) Water and Wastewater Association, which also monitors the second construction phase, the construction of a sewage pumping station. The new pumping station will play a central role by transporting the dirty water to the sewage treatment plant to Bad Salzungen.

The importance of wastewater disposal

like wvs-basa.de explained, wastewater arises from the daily consumption of drinking water. The cleaning of the wastewater before its introduction to natural waters is essential, and the entire process begins with the house connection channels, which lead the wastewater outdoors to the street channels. From there, pumping stations get the wastewater to the sewage treatment plants, where it is effectively cleaned in order to then be able to flow back into the water cycle.

In times of increasing water shortage, functioning wastewater management is not only for the environment, but also for the quality of life of the people in the region. The Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Research emphasizes that modern water and sewage management should include extensive water supply, cleaning and processing with operational optimization.

sustainable technologies for the future

The integration of environmentally friendly practices into the water cycle is becoming increasingly important. Innovative technologies for reducing water loss and promoting reuse and recycling are crucial to master the challenges of water shortage and pollution. The new project in Ettmarshausen is an example of how modern approaches can be promoted a sustainable handling of water resources.

With the upcoming construction work, not only the infrastructure is improved, but also a contribution to the preservation of the environment and to increase the quality of life in the region. Citizens can look forward to clean and efficient wastewater disposal, which keeps up with the conditions of today.
