Gießen wastewater emergencies: Who to call over the holidays?
Residents in Gießen have been advised of important contact details for wastewater emergencies over the festive period. The Mittelhessische Wasserbetriebe (MWB) will close its offices from December 24, 2025, to January 4, 2026. During this time, alternative numbers will handle urgent issues with the sewer system and treatment plants.
For sewer emergencies, the Gießen Professional Fire Department remains the main point of contact. Their number, +49 641 306-3700, will be available throughout the holiday closure. This includes blockages, overflows, or other urgent wastewater disposal problems.
The MWB closure runs from December 24, 2025, until January 4, 2026. During this period, the fire department and the treatment plant’s direct line will handle urgent cases. Residents are encouraged to save both numbers in advance to avoid delays in an emergency.
