Water supply in Bergstrasse: Construction work causes interruptions!
On September 2, 2025, construction work will take place all day on Bergstrasse towards Leitenweg to replace the water pipe. This work leads to repeated interruptions in the water supply for residents on Bergstrasse. The municipal administration asks the affected households to stock up on sufficient water supplies, as outages lasting several hours can occur. In addition, the street will be completely closed during the entire work, which also means that residents of houses on Leitenweg 1 to 5 will have to park their vehicles outside the construction site.
The municipal administration would like to thank the residents in advance for their understanding and patience. It is hoped that the completion of the road will soon come closer and that the disruption can be kept as short as possible.
Residents' rights in road construction projects
The current construction work also raises questions about the rights of residents. According to information from the Heilbronn-Franken Chamber of Industry and Commerce, residents generally have no right to compensation for road construction work, even if it affects their residential or business premises. However, a claim for compensation can arise if the impairments are classified as unlawful, disproportionate or as a so-called special victim.
A special sacrifice occurs if the impairments are so serious that they cannot be tolerated without compensation. For example, the Hamm Higher Regional Court decided in a case that there was no claim for compensation when a hotel lost direct access to the federal highway due to road construction work, which led to a loss of sales.
As a rule, only serious, existence-threatening impairments are suitable to justify a claim for compensation. A deterioration in sales alone does not generally justify a claim for compensation, as detailed information in the catalog of fines makes clear.
In conclusion, residents should maintain both patience and an informed attitude toward their rights during construction on Bergstrasse. While the construction work temporarily makes everyday life more difficult, the aim is to sustainably improve the infrastructure.
