Drinking Water Supply on Campus North

Update October 8, 2026 / 1:30 p.m.

The utility company has successfully completed repair work on the main drinking water line. The regular drinking water supply for the Hopla Süd area has been restored and is back to normal operation.

Due to yesterday’s interruption, there may still be occasional temporary service disruptions (e.g., issues with toilet flushing or faucets that temporarily stop working).

Safety and User Instructions:

• Let the water run first: As a precaution, please let the water run from faucets and taps in the Hopla Süd area for about 2 to 3 minutes the first time you use them in the coming days before using the water.
• Report issues: If you continue to experience any restrictions, please notify the Construction Department’s Service Desk immediately so that these issues can be resolved promptly:
  • Email: servicedesk@uni-kassel.de
  • Phone: Extension 7777
  • Online: https://www.uni-kassel.de/hochschulverwaltung/themen/bau-technik-und-liegenschaften/dienstleistungen/servicedesk-gebaeude.html

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Update 10/08/26 / 8:00 a.m.

Repair work by the utility provider is still ongoing and is expected to take some time.
Nevertheless, our colleagues from Facilities Management were able to successfully establish a temporary water supply for the South Campus.

Currently, the drinking water supply has been restored to all buildings at the Hopla campus—including the cafeteria.
The restrooms are operational again.

No further complete outage of the drinking water supply is expected for today (October 8, 26).

However, isolated usage restrictions may still occur, e.g.:

• Toilet flushes are not working
• Faucets are not supplying water
• Brief interruptions in the water flow

If you encounter any problems, please contact the Construction Department’s Service Desk immediately:
Email: servicedesk[at]uni-kassel[dot]de

This will allow us to resolve any existing issues quickly.

Tip:
Let the water run from the faucets or taps for 2–3 minutes before using it.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
We’ll keep you updated.

Update October 7, 2026, 2:25 p.m.

As has since been determined, the buildings at Mönchebergstr. 19 a/b and the IT Service Center continue to be supplied with drinking water. The buildings north of Moritzstraße are also—as previously reported—not affected by the interruption. For the rest of the Holländischer Platz Süd campus, the disruption to the drinking water supply continues. The utility company’s work is ongoing. It is currently unclear how long the disruption will last. At this time, we expect the work to take several more hours. We will keep you updated.

The drinking water supply on the Holländischer Platz campus—south of Moritzstraße—is temporarily interrupted. The North Campus (LEO, ASL, Science Park, etc.) is not affected. Due to a water main break, the drinking water supply on the Holländischer Platz campus must be temporarily suspended today, Wednesday, October 7. This affects the entire area south of Moritzstraße, including the central cafeteria. Meal service will be maintained for as long as possible. The drinking water supply is expected to be restored by approximately 3:00 p.m. We’ll let you know as soon as the water is back on!
