The Hengsen waterworks, located in the Ruhr Valley since 1908, plays a central role in supplying the surrounding cities of Dortmund, Holzwickede, Iserlohn and Schwerte with drinking water. Water is extracted on a 152-hectare site, with pre-cleaned Ruhr water being channeled into the subsoil via large infiltration basins. There it is collected together with enriched groundwater, bank filtrate and natural groundwater and sent to the pumping station. The plant has an annual capacity of 27 million cubic meters and uses nine centrifugal pumps to feed drinking water into the distribution networks.
