Water collection
The flushing water required for cleaning is taken from the water supply network via stand pipes.
A direct connection to a hydrant is prohibited. Generally, a permission under the Water Act and a specially equipped high-pressure flushing vehicle, e.g. in the form of filter ejectors, are required for the extraction of water from open bodies of waters.
