Street closure on Werler
In the heart of Dortmund, a water main break on Werler Straße on August 20, 2023, has caused a significant disruption. The affected area, stretching between Alleestraße and Lilienstraße, is currently closed to traffic due to a large crater and subsidence.
A detour has been set up via Ahornallee, Ludwig-Erhard-Straße, and Caldenhofer Weg to help navigate the affected area. This detour affects bus lines 2, 14, and R41, which will be detoured via Lilienstraße, Ludwig-Erhard-Straße, and Ahornallee.
Despite the incident, the city assures residents that all households will continue to be reliably supplied with water. However, there may be slight discolouration of the drinking water in nearby areas, but health authorities confirm that it is harmless. It is recommended to avoid washing white laundry to prevent potential staining.
The city's Press Office can be contacted at Theodor-Heuss-Platz 165, 965 Hamm. More information about the water main break incident can be found in the service portal, although the specific website is not specified.
The discolouration is caused by deposits that detach from the pipe walls due to the changed flow speed. It's important to note that the affected water main is a transport line, not a distribution line, ensuring that the quality of the water remains unaffected once it reaches homes and businesses.
Boiling the water is not necessary, and it can still be used without any problems. The Press Office encourages residents to stay informed and follow any updates regarding the incident. As the situation is under control, life in Dortmund continues as usual, albeit with a temporary detour.
