Anklam fights with water pressure: emergency power supply after maintenance!
Anklam, Deutschland - in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, summer is in full swing with high temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius. But while citizens are happy about the warmth, there is a water problem in Anklam: on Wednesday morning there was a pressure drop in the drinking water pipe, which caused some concerned faces. This drop in pressure, which lasted a maximum of 30 minutes, was the result of maintenance work on the transformer in the waterworks, which was carried out by Edis, such as the Nordkurier reported.
In order to maintain the water supply, the system had to be temporarily switched from regular network current to emergency power supply. Unfortunately, the pumps managed to set up sufficient pressure after this change, which required manual intervention. But you can calm down the residents: the water supply for Anklam is ensured because the residence containers were 75 % filled, which corresponds to around 500 cubic meters of fresh water, which is sufficient for about 12 hours. The final maintenance should be completed around noon.
proven methods for pressure stabilization
The water pressure is a crucial factor for daily water use. A waste of water pressure can be caused by various causes such as pipe leaks, constipation or increased consumption peaks. According to Tameson is an ideal water pressure for households between 2.76 and 4.1 bar. Low pressure can disrupt everyday tasks, while too high pressure can cause damage to the lines.
pressure problems can occur more frequently, especially in times of high water consumption, as in summer. For example, if several devices require water at the same time, this can lead to a pressure drop. Experts recommend checking valves, cleaning shower heads and sinks and repairing leaks in pipelines in order to avoid such problems.
