Kiel: A break in the district heating pipe turns the lake green

In Kiel, a leaky district heating pipe ensures cold apartments – and a green-colored body of water. The color should, however, be harmless to humans and nature.

Kiel – Cold apartments and green water in Little Kiel: In the inner city area of Kiel there was a burst pipe in a main district heating pipe on Sunday morning.

Therefore, from the entire supply area, there were always individual reports of restrictions in the heat supply, said Stadtwerkes spokesman Sönke Schuster of the German press agency. Around noon it was possible to isolate the affected area around Holtenauer Straße and stabilize the supply in the rest of the area. Since then, the basic heat builds up there again slowly.

“Around 500 customers around the burst pipe in Holtenauer Strasse are still without heat in the course of the repair work,” said Schuster. How long they would have to wait cannot be foreseen yet. “We continue to work under high pressure and ask for patience. We are aware that the restrictions are currently uncomfortable. “

Due to the leaked district heating water, the waters adjacent to the fracture site were also colored green, including the Kleine Kiel. Schuster pointed out that the green dye was harmless to the environment and health. It is added to the district heating water in order to be able to locate leaks more quickly. dpa
