The drainage company: EBE

Together for clean water in Erlangen!

We, the drainage company of the city of Erlangen (EBE), are 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.

Municipal heat planning

Progressive climate change, dependence on energy imports and rising energy costs require a fundamental change in the way we use energy. The city of Erlangen has set itself the goal of achieving greenhouse gas neutrality in the urban area as quickly as possible. In the climate crisis, this is a necessary step for local, regional and global sustainable development.

Die bisherige Abwasserreinigung belässt Spurenstoffe aus Arzneimitteln und Körperpflegeprodukten sowie bestimmte Industrie- und Haushaltschemikalien fast vollständig im behandelten Abwasser. Eine 4. Reinigungsstufe ist notwendig, um das Abwasser entsprechend zu behandeln, bevor es wieder in die Regnitz fließt.
