The Drainage Utility: EBE

Working Together for Clean Water in Erlangen!

The City of Erlangen’s Wastewater Management Department (EBE) is a municipally owned and operated agency. We collect and treat wastewater generated within the city limits, recycle the resulting sewage sludge, and build and maintain the necessary infrastructure for you, such as the public sewer system and the wastewater treatment plant.

The public sewer network in Erlangen is fully digitized. Information regarding this can be requested during business hours by calling 09131 / 86-2395 . You will then receive the relevant data via email or mail.

Information on connecting private properties to the public drainage system (property connection, sewer connection) is available here.

We provide annually updated information about our contributions to the environment and the common good in Erlangen through an Environmental and Public Welfare Report.

An 8-page brochure published in 2023 provides information about the Erlangen Wastewater Treatment Plant, its facilities, and its notable environmental achievements.

Climate Breakthrough

With the “Klima-Aufbruch” initiative, the city of Erlangen has embraced its role as an active driver of greenhouse gas neutrality.

Erlangen Wastewater Treatment Plant - 2030 Expansion Plan: Trace Substance Removal (4th Treatment Stage)

Current wastewater treatment leaves trace substances from pharmaceuticals and personal care products, as well as certain industrial and household chemicals, almost entirely in the treated wastewater. A fourth treatment stage is necessary to treat the wastewater appropriately before it flows back into the Regnitz River.
