The Vienna MA 31 publishes “flush reports” on matches in Austria during the European Football Championship. There are unusual fluctuations here, around half-time.
Who goes to the toilet or gets a glass of water during a European Championship match against Austria? No idea? Incorrect! Because Wiener Wasser collected this based on his ‘rinsing reports’. “The employees of Wiener Wasser always keep an eye on water consumption. And during the daily observation, colleagues noticed the different water consumption during the Austrian European Championship matches,” a spokeswoman for MA 31 (Wiener Wasser) told “Krone”.
The flush report
And it would have been a shame not to make these ‘abnormalities’ accessible to the population of the capital. That is why the municipal department publishes the ‘flush report’ on its social media channels after each Austrian match at the European Championship (see image).
Water container on the melt
This shows that unusual upward movements occur before kick-off and during half-time that would otherwise not occur at these times. The water tank on the Schmelz is used for the reports because it is representative of the whole of Vienna.
No water shortages
One thing is clear: before kick-off and during half-time, the water will literally be sucked out of the 29 large tanks in the city. But don’t worry: there will certainly be no water shortage. The water tanks have a storage volume of 0.9 million cubic meters of water, two additional tanks outside the city increase this volume to 1.6 million cubic meters. That alone is equivalent to the water consumption of all Viennese in four days.
High spring water from the Alps
The city is extensively supplied with high spring water from the Styrian-Lower Austrian Alps, which finds its way to individual households via high spring pipes, water tanks and the Vienna pipe network. Even at peak times and in the warm months, there is always sufficient drinking water of the highest quality available. Like during the European Championships.
