The Bergmann Water Tunnels are a series of subterranean tunnels | The Bergmann Water Tunnels are a series of subterranean tunnels that carry raw water from the [[Reserve2|Hammer Valley]] and Two Gorges Valley to the [[Stalburg Central Water Plant]], where the water is treated and distributed around Stalburg. The tunnels also provide water to the [[Tunnel2|Pine Fell Water Plant]], and contains a [[Tunnel4|hydroelectric plant]] that generates electricity from the water flowing through the tunnels. In 2016, the tunnels are owned by the Stalburg City Council, with inspection and maintenance responsibilities contracted out to the [[National Consulting Group]]. | ||
During a routine inspection on the 8th of August 2016, a floodgate failed and caused a tunnel to collapse a few hundred metres from the tunnel mouth in the Hammer Valley. This initial collapse triggered a series of other collapses along the tunnel, stopping all water flow across the entire network. The inability for water to flow from Lake Stalburg through the Hammer Valley was a major cause of the collapse of the [[Two Gorges Dam]], which occurred 12 hours after the initial collapse. | |||
Following the tunnel's collapse, the City of Stalburg awarded the contract for rebuilding the tunnels to the National Consulting Group. Reconstruction is still ongoing. | |||
In ''INFRA'', the Bergmann Tunnels are featured in [[Tunnel1]], [[Tunnel3]], [[Tunnel4]], and [[Hallway]]. | |||

Possibly one of the most mysterious sections of the Bergmann Water Tunnels, Tunnel B2 is a connecting hallway that serves to connect the maintenance areas surrounding Control Gate 1 to sections further along in the tunnels. The tunnel is kept under tight security, making entry very difficult. This is likely done to not only prevent people from entering the tunnel, but also to keep the tunnel's main occupant, [[Mörkö]], from escaping. Workers have reported various strange noises coming from the tunnel, and those who are curious enough to have a look inside often regret doing so soon after. [[Mörkö|Mörkö's]] presence in the tunnel is usually considered an "urban legend" by those who have not ventured into the tunnel. | Possibly one of the most mysterious sections of the Bergmann Water Tunnels, Tunnel B2 is a connecting hallway that serves to connect the maintenance areas surrounding Control Gate 1 to sections further along in the tunnels.
