The hours of heavy rain at the beginning of this week led to the flooding of some streets in Wolfratshausen. This caused annoyance and incomprehension for one or the other citizen.
Wolfratshausen - Looking back, the municipal utilities explain: “The streets in Wolfratshausen are mainly drained via gullies and septic tanks. In heavy rain or persistent rain showers, the water masses can no longer be absorbed by the gullies and septic tanks. ”The long dry period before the onset of heavy rain made matters even more difficult:“ The soil and green areas were too hard to absorb the rainwater and allow it to seep away. “The consequence: some streets were flooded.
The gullies and septic tanks are cleaned, maintained and checked at regular intervals by employees of the municipal utility. Citizens who nevertheless "notice a greater degree of pollution in the facilities" can contact the municipal utility: "We are grateful for any information."
