ZUSTAND DER KANALISATION - ERGEBNISSE DER DWA-UMFRAGE 2004

The paper outlines the results of the fifth inquiry of the German Association for Water Management, Wastewater and Waste (DWA) into the condition of the sewer system in Germany. The data were collected in 2004. The results once again emphasise the necessity of paying more attention to the subject of “Maintenance of the substance of the public sewer system”. They show that, up until now, no improvement of the overall condition of the public sewer system has taken place and that the conditions are continuously getting worse.
