Water Main Rupture Floods Torfbruchstraße in Düsseldorf as Repairs Target Sunday

Utilities report stable drinking-water service with tanker support for two houses.

Overview

  • The break in a large transport line sent water across several hundred metres of Torfbruchstraße, with knee-deep pooling in places.
  • Basements and at least two underground garages were pumped out, and several cars including two electric vehicles were towed.
  • Torfbruchstraße remains closed between Dreherstraße and Sulzbachstraße/Josef-Neuberger-Straße, with detours posted.
  • Power was temporarily cut to house numbers 46–60 as a safety measure and was later restored.
  • Netzgesellschaft is working with the fire brigade, police and the city to secure the site, with the defective pipe section expected to be replaced on Sunday.
