About Bergisch-Rheinischer Wasserverband
editThe Bergisch-Rheinischer Wasserverband (BRW) is an important player in the regional water management of North Rhine-Westphalia. As a public corporation, the BRW is committed to the protection and sustainable use of water bodies in the association area between the Rhine, Ruhr and Wupper rivers, for the benefit of over 500,000 people.
The core tasks of the BRW include wastewater treatment, watercourse maintenance, watercourse development and water flow equalization. The association operates sewage treatment plants and special structures to treat wastewater and protect the environment. Watercourse maintenance includes the care of around 970 kilometers of watercourses to secure the vital resource of water and maintain biological diversity.
The BRW takes a position on measures and projects that may affect its tasks and is committed to the protection and care of the water balance. Through cooperation and projects, the association contributes to the development of water bodies and the preservation of the complex ecosystem.
The BRW sees itself as a modern, environmentally and community-oriented service company. Around 290 employees are committed to the water bodies in the association area in accordance with the motto "Water is life. We live for water." The BRW promotes a good working atmosphere and the compatibility of work and family life.
The BRW provides training in environmental technology professions in order to attract young talent and retain them early on. Currently, apprentices are learning the professions of hydraulic engineering specialist, environmental technologist for wastewater management and electronics technician for industrial engineering.
The BRW strives to continuously improve the cleaning performance of its sewage treatment plants. Innovative technologies are used for this purpose, such as centrate water treatment for the targeted pre-treatment of nitrogen-contaminated centrate water. The renewal of plants, such as the screening and grit removal system in the Hochdahl sewage treatment plant, also contributes to the optimization of wastewater treatment.
The BRW is committed to protecting the environment and promoting sustainability. For example, the operating depot in Hilden is (in terms of balance sheet) energy self-sufficient. The association participates in campaigns related to water and is committed to the ecological upgrading of water bodies.
