Leipzig drainage application – A water law permit from the responsible lower water authority is required for the construction and operation of systems for the infiltration of precipitation water.
The discharge of precipitation water into the ground affects the common property “groundwater” and therefore requires a drainage application in Leipzig.
The examination of the admissibility of an “infiltration project” by the lower water authority is carried out on the basis of a water law approval plan drawn up by the planner.
The main contents of the approval plan are as follows
Regardless of whether it is infiltration systems for new construction projects or which are to be built in the course of decoupling measures (from the public sewage network), a water law permit planning is necessary as a basis for the examination by the lower water authority.
Essential legal and technical regulations for the inspection by the lower water authority include the state water laws, the building laws, the state neighbourhood laws and the technical regulations of the professional associations for urban water management (DWA-A 138 and DWA-M 153).
