  • water supply

The aim of the water supply is to supply the citizens with clean and hygienically perfect water in sufficient quantities. Before the water reaches the end consumer, it must be constantly checked and examined. The quality is specified by the Drinking Water Ordinance.

For you as a water consumer, we particularly recommend that you pay attention to the specified hardness levels when dosing the detergent, as this will not only save you money, but will also make a significant contribution to environmental protection.

On the following pages you will find further information about the supply areas, the water supply Saar-Obermosel (WSO) and the water analyses.

  • water analysis

    Water analyzes of the drinking water distributed in the Konz association of municipalities

    The following table contains the values of the water from the central raised tanks in Wasserliesch and the Saar-Obermosel water supply (WSO) in Mannebach. The values that apply to your residential area are shown in the responsibility overview.

    The water analyses for the Konz-Löllberg area must be requested from the Trier municipal utilities (telephone 0651/717-2601) or downloaded from the website of the Stadtwerke Trier, Wasserwerk Irsch can be viewed.

    As can be seen from the following table, the legally required limits are far exceeded.

  • Water supply Saar-Upper Moselle

    On 01.01.2009, the Saar-Obermosel water supply, joint public law institution – WSO – was founded. The founding was the result of a long journey.

    History:

    In the past, there were three water supply companies in the Konz - Saarburg area (Verbandsgemeindewerke Konz, Verbandsgemeindewerke Saarburg and Kreiswasserwerk Trier-Saarburg - KWW). A study by GeKom (a subsidiary of GStB RLP) showed that many synergies could be created if other structures were developed. The local networks with the house connections of the KWW became the responsibility of the respective Verbandsgemeindewerke (water supply is the primary responsibility of the Verbandsgemeinden according to the Municipal Code of RLP). Since the wells and the central treatment plants are located in the area of both VGW Konz and VGW Saarburg, they could not be assigned to one of the VGW. For this reason, a public law institution (AöR) was founded to operate these plants.

    Tasks:

    Accordingly, the WSO has the task of promoting and treating drinking water. A treatment is necessary with regard to the carbonic acid content (aggressiveness of the water).

    In order to fulfil its purpose, it operates three wells in the Mannebach valley and three wells in the Wawerner Bruch. It processes the drinking water in the central Mannebach reservoir and distributes it to the transfer tanks in the two collective municipalities of Konz and Saarburg. From there, the drinking water is then transported to the consumers via the local networks.

    The WSO also supplies drinking water to Luxembourg, to the local water association SIDERE, which in turn forwards the drinking water to various Luxembourg communities.

    Management:

    Since the WSO does not employ its own staff, the necessary work is carried out by employees of the Konz AöR and Saarburg municipal utilities, who record and account for their work using report forms. The WSO board consists of the plant managers of the two municipal utilities.

    Further development:

    In the course of 2016, the district council of the district of Trier-Saarburg decided to withdraw from the WSO. This paves the way for further organizational studies. It is currently being examined whether further synergies can be created by taking on further tasks in the area of water supply and waste water disposal.
