Austria cracker – “Dishwashing report”: EM causes water consumption to rise

The Vienna MA 31 publishes “washing reports” on Austrian games during the European Football Championship. There are unusual fluctuations, for example at half-time.

Who goes to the toilet or gets a glass of water when during a European Championship match with Austria? No idea? Wrong! Because Wiener Wasser has collected this information using its “flushing reports”. “The employees of Wiener Wasser always keep an eye on water consumption. And during daily observation, our colleagues noticed the different water consumption during the Austrian European Championship games,” a MA 31 spokeswoman (Wiener Wasser) tells the “Krone”.The flushing reportAnd it would have been a shame not to make these “abnormalities” available to the capital’s residents. Therefore, after every Austrian game in the European Championship, the municipal department publishes the “flushing report” on its social media channels (see graphic).Water tank on the SchmelzIt shows that before kick-off and during half-time, there are unusual spikes that do not otherwise occur at these times. The water tank on the Schmelz is used for the reports, as it is representative of the whole of Vienna.No water shortageOne thing is clear: before kick-off and during half-time, the water is literally sucked out of the 29 large tanks in the city. But don’t worry: there will definitely be no water shortage. The water tanks have a storage capacity of 0.9 million cubic meters of water, and two additional tanks outside the city increase this volume to 1.6 million cubic meters. This alone corresponds to the water consumption of all Viennese in four days.High-altitude spring water from the AlpsThe city is supplied with high-altitude spring water from the Styrian-Lower Austrian Alps, which finds its way to individual households via high-altitude spring pipes, water tanks and the Vienna pipe network. Even at peak times and in hot months, there is always enough drinking water of the highest quality available. As was the case during the European Championships.
