water quality as the top priority

Regular rinses are not only good for deposits, they are also essential to secure drinking water quality. Stadtwerke and many water suppliers in Germany follow guidelines of the DVGW (German Association of the Gas and Wasserfach e.V.) to ensure that the drinking water always corresponds to the highest standards. The basis for this is pure drinking water, which is used as a cleaning medium and has to be renewed according to the regulations in defined intervals.

Every household also has a responsibility for the quality of its drinking water house installations. The hygienic requirements are determined in such a way that there are no health risks of contaminated water. This is ensured by regular checks and maintenance, which are increasingly optimized thanks to the multibarrier system to protect the raw water.

The Stadtwerke Greifswald are confident that these planned measures not only receive drinking water quality, but also contribute to general health care in the region, so that citizens can also rely on their water in the future. As the hygiene experts emphasize, it is not enough to only take measures once; The continuous monitoring and cleaning are the key.

A clouding of the water after the rinsing is possible, but harmless as long as the legal provisions are observed. Stadtwerke recommend always paying attention to the quality of the drinking water and making decisions based on this.
