The water traffic light is green again! But we still need to use water wisely.
SWK’s water traffic light provides early information on the status of the drinking water supply. It will be switched back to green on July 8, 2026! Water withdrawal, which had temporarily reached annual peak levels of over 30,000 m³ per day, has now dropped back to around 25,000 m³ per day.

Conserving Water Resources

Beware of misleading letters regarding the replacement of electricity meters!
Private meter operators are currently sending out letters recommending the replacement of electricity meters. Please do not let these official-looking letters pressure you into making a decision!
The Iran conflict and the energy supply in the Palatinate
Energy supplies from the Arab world are influencing the global energy market. The Iran war and its effects in the Middle East also affect us. We are currently noticing this particularly in the rise in petrol prices. How is the Iran crisis affecting energy prices and security of supply in the Kaiserslautern region?
The Water Traffic Light – Using Resources Wisely
Here in the Palatinate, too, the effects of climate change are being felt. We need to monitor the region’s water supplies. One important measure we’re taking is the water traffic light system. Please help us use water wisely.
