Since the water requirements of the city of Remscheid could no longer be completely covered by the neighboring Eschbach dam, the first plans for another dam were made as early as 1902. After work began in the Neyetal near Wipperfürth in 1907, the dam, which was constructed according to the Intze principle, was put into operation in the spring of 1909. With a capacity of 6 million m³, the Neyetalsperre supplied the city of Remscheid with drinking water until 2004. Today it remains as a replacement for emergencies and is otherwise used for flood protection or to raise low water levels. Since 2007 we have been responsible for the operational management of the Neyetalsperre, which is owned by EWR GmbH. The Neyetalsperre is connected to the Bever Dam, the Schevelingen Dam and the Mühlenteich Wasserfuhr via tunnels and together they form the Bever Block. It is connected to the Eschbachtalsperre by a 15 km long pipeline.
