    Thüringer Fernwasserversorgung: A central role in Thuringia's water management

    The Thüringer Fernwasserversorgung (TFW) is an institution under public law that specializes in the provision of drinking water, process water and flood protection. With its headquarters in Erfurt, it is a key player in Thuringia's water management.

    Key products and services

    • Drinking water supply: The TFW operates over 120 dams, including six large drinking water dams, which supply more than 50 percent of the drinking water in Thuringia. An extensive long-distance water pipeline network of around 570 kilometers supplies 25 special-purpose associations, municipal and community utilities[1][5].
    • Process water supply: In addition to drinking water, the TFW also provides process water for agricultural and industrial purposes in order to cover regional water requirements[1][5].
    • Flood protection: The reservoirs not only serve the water supply, but also the regulation of flood events in order to minimize damage[1][5].
    • Energy generation: The TFW uses regenerative hydropower to generate energy, which contributes to the reduction of CO~2~ emissions[5].

    Mission and values

    The mission of the TFW is to ensure a safe and high-quality water supply. Trust and security are the cornerstones for cooperation with partners. Integrity and ethical behavior are central values that are implemented through a code of conduct and compliance regulations[4].

    Sustainability goals and initiatives

    Sustainability is a central concern of the TFW. By using regenerative hydropower, its own energy requirements are covered and green electricity is fed into the grid. This contributes to reducing the ecological footprint and supports the energy transition in the region. In addition, the TFW contributes to the transfer of knowledge and research in the field of water management through the dam and hydrological archive in Tambach-Dietharz[5].

    The TFW actively promotes equality and diversity among its employees and welcomes applications regardless of gender, origin or disability[2].
