Water supply in Pinneberg endangered: Stadtwerke warn!

Pinneberg, Deutschland - The Stadtwerke Südholstein has reported problems in the water supply in the Pinneberger district since Tuesday evening, July 1, 2025. The operators call for citizens to avoid vital water consumption in order not to further tighten the situation. A pressure drop, caused by an increased water withdrawal in the region, means that the water supply is partially failed, reports ndr.de .

The municipal utilities are already working on a solution and inform the population about a fault hotline. However, the essential stabilization of the water supply is only possible with reduced water withdrawal. In this context, the municipal utilities ask, among other things, not to fill Pools, not to water lawns and not to wash cars.

commitment and infrastructure

The Stadtwerke Pinneberg, some of the Südholstein Stadtwerke, are active in the entire district of Pinneberg and in Tornesch as the central service provider for energy and water supply. They not only supply households, but also companies with electricity, gas, water, warmth and take care of wastewater disposal. For example, around 1,050 buildings in Pinneberg are connected over a 52 -kilometer district heating network, while around 500 buildings over 15 kilometers are supplied in Tornesch. This shows the comprehensive infrastructure, which is of great importance for the quality of life in the region, as shz.de

An innovative aspect is the use of waste heat from the waste incineration in Tornesch, which is realized by the company for waste management and waste treatment (GAB). With modern combined heat and power plants that are operated with biogas and natural gas, the municipal utilities aim to achieve a decarbonization by using renewable energies by 2045.
