Street Closure on Werler Street
In the heart of Hamm, a water main break on Werler Street caused a significant disturbance on August 20th. The damaged water main is a main transport line, not a distribution line, and the city utilities are working diligently to repair the damage.
Despite the extensive nature of the damage, the city assures residents that all households will continue to be reliably supplied with water. However, there may be slight discoloration of the drinking water in nearby areas. The discoloration is harmless to health and does not require boiling. As a precaution, it is recommended to avoid washing white laundry due to the discolored water.
The area between Allee Street and Lilien Street was completely closed to traffic due to a large crater and significant subsidence. Corresponding detours for traffic and buses are via Ahornallee, Ludwig-Erhard-Straße and Caldenhofer Weg, as well as in the opposite direction. Buses on lines 2, 14, and R41 will be detoured via Lilienstraße, Ludwig-Erhard-Straße, and Ahornallee.
The repair is expected to take some time due to the extent of the damage. For further information, the press office can be contacted at Theodor-Heuss-Platz 165, 965 Hamm. More information on the service portal is available, but its location or access method is not specified in the provided text.
The company responsible for the maintenance and repair of the damaged water pipeline network on Werler Straße in Hamm is Stadtwerke Hamm. The press office can be reached, but the website and email address are not specified in the provided text.
Residents are advised to stay informed and follow any updates from the city utilities and the press office. The city is committed to addressing the situation and ensuring the safety and convenience of its residents.
