By 1900 the boroughs of Deutz, Nippes, and Ehrenfeld were all connected to the system. A mechanised waste water plant opened in 1905 and five purification plants now filter the water before releasing it into the Rhine.〔〔 By 1933 the length of the system measured ,〔 and by 2011 it had expanded to .〔
