Wallensteinstrasse in Güstrow: Renovation from June 30th - complete closure threatened!
From June 30th, Wallensteinstrasse in Güstrow will be the scene of necessary renovation work for a week. The aim is to repair the combined sewer system, which drains both dirty and rainwater. This was reported by the Northern Courier. The measures by the municipal wastewater company will last until July 4th and will be accompanied by a temporary full closure of the street.
Why is this renovation so important? The combined sewer system is particularly susceptible to damage, especially during heavy rain. Regular inspection and repairs are essential to ensure the functionality and operational safety of the wastewater network. This is intended to prevent future damage and disruptions as well as to reduce environmental damage and unpleasant backflow events during heavy rain, as the Güstrow public utility company explains in a statement. During construction, residents can still access their properties, but should expect temporary restrictions.
Environmental awareness and safety
The combined sewer system in Güstrow, as in many other cities, works on the principle that wastewater and rainwater are drained together. These systems are typically vulnerable as they can become overwhelmed during heavy rainfall. If the drain is overloaded, combined sewer overflows can occur, which discharge untreated waste water into bodies of water. This not only leads to nutrient and pollutant inputs, but can also have a significant impact on the environment, as the information provided by the Berlin Senate Administration shows here.
The upcoming renovation work on Wallensteinstrasse is not just a structural engineering measure, but also contributes to protecting the environment and increasing the quality of life of the citizens. It is a step in the right direction to maintain and improve the public sewer network, especially in mixed sewer areas, in the long term.
The city of Güstrow asks all residents and road users for understanding and support during the construction work. Short-term diversions and disruptions cannot be ruled out during this time. It is therefore best to keep up to date with current traffic patterns to avoid unpleasant surprises.
