Relief at the Schongauer Stadtwerke.
The leak in the district heating pipe at the vocational school has been found.
"The damage is not due to the old line, it is in a very good condition for its age," said deputy plant manager Johannes Kuhl.

- As the current investigation has shown, there is a leak in the significantly younger house connection opposite, and it is only a single hole.
This avoids the feared major construction site with full closure, the road remains open on one side, and traffic can flow past the construction site as it is now.
However, it will take until mid-June until the road is fully open again
It will still take a while before the road is fully passable again.
Kuhl estimates that the work will continue from the beginning of the coming week to mid-June.
What is also gratifying: The municipal utilities had exposed a total of five meters of pipe and removed the concrete ceiling from the more than 50-year-old sewer in order to examine the overall condition of the hooded sewer: “We were pleased, the condition is not as bad as always thought ”, says Kuhl.
He now hopes that there will be no negative surprises in the further course of the construction site like last year on Marktoberdorfer Straße.
Occupational safety is now the priority at the construction site - after all, the exposed pipes have a heat of around 100 degrees.
Kuhl praises the fact that the damage was found so quickly, thanks to the experience of the employees.
