Causes and effects of pipe bursts

The visibility of burst pipes on streets allows for a quick response, while underground leaks often go undetected and can cause high water losses. This damage not only affects the water supply, but also the cities' infrastructure. Before the 1990s, the pipe network was barely maintained, resulting in water losses of over 50 percent. Today this value is around 16 percent, thanks to improved techniques for detecting broken pipes, such as ZVAW described.

Among the modern methods are noise data loggers, which enable continuous network monitoring and provide an early warning mechanism. These devices are designed to detect leakage noise and automatically determine the location without requiring a road closure.

The current situation shows how important it is to maintain the transport infrastructure during repair work. Residents and commuters are therefore asked to consider alternative routes and to regularly check for diversions. Local transport services, supported by up-to-date information from ViaMichelin, provide helpful information.
