Practical information for your visit to our fun and educational beach.

Dyke reinforcement Lauwersmeer dyke-Vierhuizergat

The Lauwersmeer dyke in Groningen lies between Lauwersoog and the Westpolder. We are strengthening this dyke. This will help us better protect ourselves against flooding from the sea in the future.

Nieuwe waterwerken Zoutkamp (hydraulic-engineering works)

With the construction of the new Hunsingo pumping station, for example, we will increase our pumping capacity, allowing us to “lift” more and more water from the lower-lying hinterland up to lake Lauwersmeer, where it will ultimately be discharged into the sea. The village will also be celebrating the completion of the New Waterworks on June 12 and 13, together with our water authority, the province of Groningen, and the council Hogeland council .

Westerkwartier Wastewater Treatment Plant

We are building a new wastewater treatment plant in Gaarkeuken. It will eventually replace the old plants in Marum, Gaarkeuken, and Zuidhorn. Cleaner water, better for the environment, and less odour and noise in the surrounding area.
