Water pressure fluctuations in Wörth: hydrant measurement announced!
Wörth am.d.Donau provides information about water pressure fluctuations in the northern city area due to hydrant measurements on November 25th and 26th, 2025.
Water pressure fluctuations in Wörth: hydrant measurement announced!
On Tuesday, November 25th and Wednesday, November 26th, 2025, there will be water pressure fluctuations in the northern urban area of Wörth an der Donau. This is reported by the City of Wörth. The reason for these fluctuations is planned hydrant measurements and pipe network flushing that need to be carried out in several affected areas.
The measures affect, among others, the Brunner nursery, the Blöchlberg settlement, the Falkensteiner settlement, Blindfenster and the Schwarzer Helm and Am Brand residential areas. Residents are asked to understand the expected disruptions.
Need for hydrant measurements
Checking the hydrants is crucial for the fire water supply. Particularly in an emergency, sufficient pressure in the line is essential, as [Rittmeyer](https://rittmeyer.com/messtechnik/applications/hydranten-performance measurement) explains. To ensure hydrants meet required standards, it is important to measure flow and pressure conditions. Rittmeyer's hydrant performance measuring device makes it possible to carry out these measurements easily and efficiently.
Fire hydrants are essential elements of firefighting and must be maintained and checked regularly. Water suppliers, municipalities and cities are responsible for providing fire-fighting water and must ensure that both drinking water and fire-fighting water are available in the required quantities. The DIN 14462:2023-07 standard deals with the planning, maintenance and servicing of these systems and requires operators to carry out annual surveys of water flow, flow and rest pressure to document their performance.
Relevant standards and guidelines
In addition, DVGW worksheet W 405 regulates the requirements for the fire-fighting water supply from the public drinking water supply. It defines guideline values that determine the extinguishing water requirement depending on structural use and the risk of fire spreading. This highlights the importance of regular hydrant inspections and proper documentation of performance metrics.
Carrying out pipe network flushing and hydrant measurements is therefore not only a measure to ensure the water supply, but also a significant contribution to increasing safety in the affected urban areas of Wörth an der Donau.
