Water pipe break in Bad Kreuznach: 400 cubic meters of water per hour!

On the evening of April 24, 2025, a water pipe break occurred in the main water pipe of Hermannstrasse in Bad Kreuznach. The leakage was localized around 8:30 p.m., below the club home on the site of the allotment garden association. According to near News , the incident caused significant problems with it. Until 10 p.m., the municipal utilities were able to stop the water leak through targeted measures.

The water leak was massive: around 400 cubic meters per hour escaped, which significantly impaired the water pressure in Bad Kreuznach and the surrounding area, including Rüdesheim, Wahlsberg and Agnesienberg. In order to improve the situation, the municipal utilities worked quickly and efficiently. The pipe network was filled again until 11:30 p.m. and the water was available for the affected households.

consequences of the pipe break

As a result of the incident, it was necessary to flee and rinse the affected network area comprehensively. This was done in order to remove possible cloudings and air pockets in the drinking water that could have arisen from the loss of water. The municipal utilities appeal to the citizens to understand the measure and the possible inconvenience.

The Kreuznach Stadtwerke had already discovered a previous leak in the drinking water network in December 2024. At that time, they decided against an immediate repair for logistical reasons, since a full closure on Schloßgartenstrasse would have been required. With regard to ongoing construction measures in the nearby road, preparatory measures were taken to fix the current damage without traffic chaos, such as "https://www.kreuznstadtwerke.de/Presse/artikel/default-d34b90873647a3b6ce393abd4b"> Kreuznach Stadtwerke reported.

future measures

The Stadtwerke plan to decouple the affected lines in the same week and replace with new lines. Civil engineering work is currently taking place in Schloßgartenstrasse below a half -side closure with traffic light control. This work concerns a distance of around 45 meters and should continue to enable access to the residents, such as the All -Drink beverage market.

The measure began on February 10, 2025 and is expected to be completed in four weeks. A second construction phase is planned, which provides for the renewal of a line over a further 100 meters after completing the work in Nahenweinstrasse. The municipal utilities have already set up a replacement supply for the residents and hope for the understanding of the residents during this.
