Residents choose name for new Zoutkamp pumping station
Together with residents of the area, the Noorderzijlvest Water Authority is looking for a name for the new pumping station in Zoutkamp. Between December 1 and 23, interested parties can vote for their favorite name via the project website. The construction of the new pumping station behind the historic Hunsingosluis is part of the 'Nieuwe Waterwerken Zoutkamp' (New Waterworks Zoutkamp) project. This pumping station has a larger capacity and will replace the current H.D. Louwes pumping station. The new pumping station will be commissioned in 2025. In this way, we are compensating for the negative effects of climate change and guaranteeing water safety.
Vote before December 23
Between December 1 and 23, you can vote for one of the following three names for the new pumping station via the project page noorderzijlvest.nl/nieuwewaterwerkenzoutkamp:
1. Gemaal De Soltcamp
2. Gemaal Achter Diek
3. Gemaal Hunsingo
The origin of the names will be explained in more detail during the voting process. We will announce the new name for the pumping station in early 2023.
