The Drainage Utility: EBE
Working Together for Clean Water in Erlangen!
The City of Erlangen’s Wastewater Management Authority (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 on 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 on our services for the environment and the public 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.
News from the EBE
Schallershofer Street
From Monday, August 17, through Thursday, September 17 (tentatively), Schallershofer Straße will be completely closed to traffic between Kraftwerkstraße and Romesstraße.
Theater Square
From Monday, September 14, through Friday, October 30, the area from Theaterplatz to Harfenstraße will be closed to traffic. A section of the sewer line is being replaced there using the open-cut method.
Save on Sewer Fees
Take advantage of exempt water volumes: No wastewater fee is due for water consumed on the property that is not discharged into the sewer system (e.g., water used for gardening).
Storing building materials safely
The removal of blockages causes considerable costs. Contractors and building owners can be held liable.
Dispose of wet wipes
Wet wipes and kitchen towels belong in the bin. The drainage company draws attention to this.

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.

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).
