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 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.

We are responsible for wastewater collection, discharge and treatment in the city of Erlangen.
In addition, the wastewater from the connected surrounding municipalities and wastewater associations is treated at the Erlangen wastewater treatment plant before being discharged into the Regnitz.
Our company statutes define the assigned area of responsibility. Our tasks, including any auxiliary and ancillary operations, are the discharge and treatment of wastewater, including sewage sludge recycling and disposal tasks. Our area of responsibility also includes sovereign activities within the framework of the municipal code, water laws and municipal statutes, in particular the enforcement of the drainage statutes with contribution and fee statutes.
We are managed as an organizationally, administratively and financially separate company outside the municipal administration as a special asset without its own legal personality (in-house operation pursuant to Art. 86 No. 1 GO).
