The new Jochanger reservoir situated between Alpbach and Reith has been completed at a cost of four million Euros. The reservoir covers an area about 2,5 hectares and holds about 130,000 metres of water is using natural water pressure as opposed to high energy compressors.
The water will supply the entire snow making equipment on Reith and about half of the equipment needs in Alpbach.
In addition to the existing snow making pipelines 10 km of new pipelines measuring 20 to 30 cm in diameter were laid and a new pumping station for the water supply to the snow making machines in the higher lying pistes of the Wiedersbergerhorn ski area was built.
