Leipzig Waterworks Launch Public Sewer‑System Tours

Leipzig Waterworks are inviting residents and visitors to join guided tours that descend through a 60‑cm diameter shaft into the city’s underground sewer network. The one‑hour tours run hourly between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., require participants to be at least 12 years old, 1.5 m tall, and in good physical condition; safety equipment is provided.

The event aims to raise awareness of proper toilet use, highlighting problems caused by flushing wet wipes and other hygiene products that lead to blockages and costly pump repairs. Interested people can register online while slots last.
