15 40 An efficient and secure infrastructure Initial situation Zurich's well developed and efficient infrastructure makes a significant contribution to the high quality of life and the attractiveness of the City. Zurich Airport, which handles international connections, is of major importance for the City, Greater Zurich and Switzerland. The public transport service (VBZ) transports almost 860,000 passengers every day on its 500 km-long route network with 400 stops. The municipal ewz distribution network, with 15 substations, more than 700 transformer stations and more than 3,000 km of cables, is continuously maintained. The planned comprehensive build-up of a glass-fibre network by ewz in cooperation with Swisscom will provide access to state-of-the-art communication services in the future The water supply service company ensures the supply of drinking water with three water plants, 21 reservoirs and 29 pump stations. Almost 1,000 km of public sewers below ground transfer sewage to the Werdhölzli sewage plant. The waste incineration plants at Hagenholz and Josefstrasse convert combustible waste into electricity and remote heat. The maintenance, renewal and expansion of this infrastructure remains a continuous challenge. <strong>Strategies</strong> � The City ensures that the production and efficiency goals for a reliable, environmental and climate friendly electricity supply will be met in accordance with the study The Electricity Future of the City of Zurich. � The City is taking on a pioneering role with regard to the provision of information and communication technology networks. � The City is expanding the VBZ route network according to the Route Network Study <strong>2025</strong>, and is thereby making the necessary depots and siding facilities available. � The City guarantees the safe and reliable supply of drinking water by maintaining the standards of the three production sites and the distribution network. � The City is expanding the local and remote heat supply. � The City will ensure that the forces in the recycling of waste and sewage in the Canton of Zurich will be bundled. � The City is committed to promoting sustainable development of the Zurich Airport, with attentiveness to producing as little pollution as possible.
