The water traffic light is still green in February 2026
SWK's water traffic light provides early information on the status of the drinking water supply. It is still green at the beginning of the new year. An important criterion for the water traffic light is the level of the Lauterspring spring, which we constantly monitor.

Seismic measurements for geothermal energy in the region completed
The vibro-trucks have been on the road in Kaiserslautern and the surrounding area since November 13, 2025. After almost four weeks, we were able to complete the measurements on December 9, 2025. The small orange-grey plastic cubes (geophones) that were distributed everywhere have already been collected again.
