The record-breaking June ended at the weekend with intense heat.
The persistent drought and midsummer temperatures have also led to record levels of drinking water consumption in the association area. The weekly average is now above the previous record daily peaks!
With 1.4 million m³ of drinking water supplied, June 2019 saw the highest monthly consumption in the association's history.
However, the fact that this water is not only used as drinking water is shown by the constant figures for wastewater consumption. The above-average consumption is mainly due to the use of DRINKING water for garden irrigation. This leads to noticeably falling groundwater levels and - particularly in the evening hours - to considerable depressurisation in some areas of the association's territory.
