The construction project "New rainwater overflow basin with Eltersdorf pumping station" is currently underway. Planned construction period: until August 2027. Access to the construction site is via Konrad-Haußner-Straße. It has been widened in one section for this purpose. The nearby playground will be fenced off from the road with construction fences to minimize potential hazards from construction traffic. There are also no-stopping zones in this area.

The reason for implementing the measure "New construction of stormwater overflow basin 11510 with pumping station" is a water law requirement to reduce water pollution by significantly increasing the storage volume. The rainwater overflow basin is intended to temporarily store most of the combined water from Eltersdorf during major rainfall events so that it can then be throttled and passed on to the Erlangen sewage treatment plant. The new construction is intended to reduce the environmental impact on the watercourse/Regnitz.

New construction will take place in two phases

In order to ensure smooth operation, the northern half of the basin (approx. 1700 m³) and the new pumping station will be constructed and put into operation first. The old basin can then be dismantled and the area thus freed up can be used for the construction of the southern half of the basin (2nd construction phase), with a further approx. 1,700 m³.

After completion of the measure and clearing of the green space, the areas used will be ecologically upgraded. This will be achieved by

• Development of areas with sandy grassland or fringes of perennials in the area of the covered basin chambers
• New planting of shrubs.
