The drainage company: EBE

Together for clean water in Erlangen!

The drainage company of the city of Erlangen (EBE) is a municipal enterprise. We collect and treat wastewater produced in the city area, recycle the resulting sewage sludge and build and maintain the necessary facilities for you, such as the public sewer system and the sewage treatment plant.

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

Information on connecting private properties to the public drainage system (property connection, sewer tapping) can be found here.

We provide updated information about our services for the environment and the common good in Erlangen in an annual environmental and common good report.

An 8-page brochure produced in 2023 provides information about the Erlangen sewage treatment plant, its facilities and special environmental services.

The existing wastewater treatment process leaves trace substances from pharmaceuticals and personal care products as well as certain industrial and household chemicals almost completely in the treated wastewater. A 4th purification stage is necessary to treat the wastewater accordingly before it flows back into the Regnitz.
