Damage to Gas and Water Pipelines Attributed to Construction Works (LPI-SLF)

In the heart of Thuringia, a surprising incident occurred on Friday afternoon in the quaint town of Ebersdorf. During fiber optic cable excavation work on Lobensteiner Street, a ground rocket inadvertently damaged both gas and water lines.

The immediate aftermath saw the district office, the mayor, and the fire brigade springing into action. They swiftly evacuated the affected homes, offering temporary accommodation for those in need. The damaged houses were cleared for reoccupation by the fire department once the situation was under control.

The Saale-Orla Police Inspectorate was also involved in managing the incident. The affected area, Lobensteiner Street, remains closed to traffic due to the unsealed road surface. However, the road is expected to be completely sealed by the end of the following day.

Repair work on the damaged lines continued into the late evening hours, ensuring the safety of the residents and the workers. Parts of Ebersdorf and the entire village of Schönbrunn were temporarily without gas supply, but thankfully, no injuries were reported among construction workers or residents.

For any further inquiries, you can contact the Thuringian Police or the Saalfeld Police Headquarters. The contact number for the police is 03663 431 0, and emails can be sent to [email protected].

The search results do not provide the name of the police chief of the Saalfeld Police Headquarters at this time. The contact information was transmitted via news aktuell by Saalfeld Police Headquarters.

As the situation unfolds, the community remains resilient, working together to ensure a swift recovery. The affected residents are being supported by local authorities, and the repairs to the gas and water lines are progressing steadily.
