The drinking water of the Landeswasserversorgung needs to travel a long way before getting to the consumer. From the Langenau Waterworks, across the Swabian Alps, all the way to Stuttgart takes roughly one day. The approximately 790 km-long piping network and the 33 water reservoirs of the LW are inspected and maintained on a continual basis. Today, most of this is carried out automatically and by remote control. Large pumps ensure the necessary power supply.
