Au-Brunnen wird voraussichtlich am Wochenende zugeschaltet

Die Städtischen Dienste Eberbach planen die vorübergehende Zuschaltung des Au-Brunners zum Trinkwassernetz, um die Versorgung aufgrund anhaltender Trockenheit zu sichern. Dies kann eine erhöhte Wasserhärte, insbesondere in Neckarwimmersbach, zur Folge haben. Zudem wird die Desinfektion des Trinkwassers mittels Natriumhypochlorid aufrechterhalten.
