The first and the most important tunnel in the network, providing over 90% of the fresh water to the city, that among the citizens of Stalburg is commonly known as the "Bergmann Water Tunnel", the tunnel connects the Hammer Valley river to the [[Stalburg Central Water Plant]], moving water to the main reservoir. The tunnel hosts two major facilities lenghtwise, a [[Tunnel4|hydroelectric power plant]] build and operated in the past by [[Hammer Valley Hydro]] and a [[Tunnel2|Pine Fell Water Plant]] operated by [[Stalburg Water]], whose underground section controls the water flow rate in the tunnel, another minor water flow control facility is located between the major two. Throughout the tunnel at least 4 [[Main-Six|Water Flow Monitors]] are installed that radio communica with the main control board at the [[Watertreatment|Pitheath Water Treatment Plant]] office. | The first and the most important tunnel in the network, providing over 90% of the fresh water to the city, that among the citizens of Stalburg is commonly known as the "Bergmann Water Tunnel", the tunnel connects the Hammer Valley river to the [[Stalburg Central Water Plant]], moving water to the main reservoir.

The freshwater tunnel has built around it adjacent maintenance tunnels that allow workers to access various parts of the tunnel, including tunnel B3/C3 and [[Hallway|tunnel B2]] that are around 9 km long and connect the two major facilities, the latter spawned [[Mörkö|various myths]] around it and aroused fear among workers, advising to not use it. | The freshwater tunnel has built around it adjacent maintenance tunnels that allow workers to access various parts of the tunnel, including tunnel B3/C3 and [[Hallway|tunnel B2]] that are around 9 km long each and connect the two major facilities together, the latter spawned [[Mörkö|various myths]] around it and aroused fear among workers, advising to not use it. | ||
The tunnel is around 14,5 km long and parts of it were bored through an underground cave structures, in which during the initial construction a species of [[Stalburg Mushroom Virus#Green Mushrooms|green glowing mushrooms]] was discovered, which thanks to the water reach of the tunnel, had spread to other parts of the Stalburg. The tunnel was conceived in the first half of 20th century after the second world war, as a response to a lack of potable water in the city due to pollution, and was constructed in under a decade, being the biggest tunneling project in the city to that date. | The tunnel is around 14,5 km long and parts of it were bored through an underground cave structures, in which during the initial construction a species of [[Stalburg Mushroom Virus#Green Mushrooms|green glowing mushrooms]] was discovered, which thanks to the water reach of the tunnel, had spread to other parts of the Stalburg.
