The municipality of Wessobrunn has concluded a cooperation agreement with the Weilheim municipal utility company.
She wants to use the plants' expertise in wastewater.
This reduces the burden on the building yard.
Wessobrunn - The control technology of the pumping systems, which ensures that the wastewater from Wessobrunn and the Haid district reaches the sewage treatment plant in Weilheim, has recently repeatedly caused problems.
It also largely dates back to the time when the canal was being built at the end of the millennium.
“Reliability and operational continuity are no longer guaranteed.
We normally replace the controls after 25 years,” reported wastewater master Alexander Fath, from the Weilheim municipal utility, at a press conference in the Wessobrunner town hall.
The background to this is a cooperation agreement that the monastery community has concluded with the municipal utilities regarding wastewater.
“Our construction yard, which was previously responsible for this, will be relieved, and it is good for us to be able to cooperate with the professionals from the municipal utilities, with whom we have been working well together for a long time,” explained Wessobrunn’s mayor Georg Guggemos.
“The canal is important and it has to run,” said construction site manager Tobias Steigenberger, who was very satisfied with the cooperation.

The contract stipulates, among other things, that the control technology of the 14 pumping stations will be brought up to date.
“It was no longer possible to continue with the old one,” explained Guggemos.
The exchange does not happen all at once, but rather gradually.
“In order to ensure smooth operations, this will take place over a period of three to four years,” explained Fath.
In the future, for example, fault reports that previously arrived at the Wessobrunner construction yard will be reported directly to the municipal utilities, which also have the appropriate staff available for this purpose.
The price of wastewater may change
The whole thing won't be cheap.
The exact costs cannot yet be predicted, but Guggemos expects a six-figure amount, which would have been due even without the cooperation agreement.
“It would no longer have been possible to simply let it continue like this,” said Guggemos.
As soon as the exact costs are available, the wastewater price, which the municipality recently recalculated, may have to be changed.
At the same time, the town hall boss emphasized that the municipal utilities demand fair prices.
“They are not profit-oriented,” says Guggemos.

He made it clear that the cooperation agreement should be reviewed in a few years.
“We then want to draw a conclusion.
If it turns out that it is good for everyone involved, it will be extended,” said Guggemos.
In any case, the new control technology will still be available.
“And it should last 25 years,” said Lukas Becker, head of the water and wastewater department at the municipal utility.
