SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Mörscher Wald waterworks has been in operation since 1930 and was expanded in 1952. The Karlsruhe public utility company conducted a study to determine the drinking water demand in 2040. The study showed that the treatment capacity of the Mörscher Wald waterworks would have to be significantly expanded in the future to 60,000 m³/d or 3000 m³/h as the maximum capacity for raw water extraction. However, the waterworks' facilities were in a technical condition that would have allowed only a very limited increase in capacity, and a renewal of essential plant components would have been necessary in the foreseeable future anyway.
For this reason, the Karlsruhe public utility company decided to build a new waterworks on the site next to the existing one and to completely dismantle the old facilities after commissioning.
