Failure of District Heating Pipeline in Vienna-Simmering: Supply Gradually Returns to Full Operation

The failure of an underground district heating pipeline occurred on Wednesday night in the area of Kaiser-Ebersdorfer Straße. The repair work was completed by the Wiener Netze teams last night. Already during the course of Thursday, the district heating supply for 80 percent of the customers could be gradually increased through network rerouting. Since the successful damage repair at 5:00 a.m., the supply is gradually returning to full operation for all households in the affected area. In district heating, large amounts of water are heated in an extensive system. Therefore, it may take some time until the full heating capacity is available in each individual household.
