Why install drinking water sprinklers in public spaces?
In an era of growing environmental awareness and concern for the comfort of residents and users of urban spaces, the installation of drinking water dispensers (also known as watering points or springs) in public spaces is becoming not only a practical solution, but a necessary one. This is not only an expression of concern for the comfort of citizens, but also a real action to protect the environment and fulfil legal obligations.
Residents' comfort and improved quality of life
Drinking water wells are all about easy access to clean, safe water for everyone - regardless of age, social status or time of day. Their presence in parks, markets, bus stops or in offices and schools means convenience, economy and the ability to hydrate oneself during daily chores or physical activity. Particularly in hot weather, watering holes become invaluable and their absence is felt.
Real action to reduce plastic waste
Spas are also a concrete answer to the problem of excess single-use plastic. By promoting the use of reusable bottles and providing refill points, cities can significantly reduce the number of plastic bottles ending up in the environment. This is an environmental measure that has a direct impact on the amount of litter in urban spaces, forests, rivers and landfills.
Waterworks as promoters of modern and environmentally friendly solutions
Local water companies that supply drinking water to residents should treat the installation of sprinklers as part of their image strategy. This is a great opportunity to build positive PR and show that the company not only supplies water, but also actively supports sustainable development and modern urban solutions. Communicating the quality of local water and allowing it to be consumed free of charge in public spaces can significantly increase residents' confidence in tap water.
Obligation under EU law
It is also worth noting that the provision of unrestricted access to drinking water in public spaces is no longer solely the goodwill of local authorities. According to Directive 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the EU CouncilMember States are obliged to take measures to improve access to water, especially in public places. The installation of drinking troughs is therefore not only good practice, but also part of the implementation of EU law.
Spas in public buildings - convenience and a new standard
In offices, offices, schools, health centres and other public facilities, access to free drinking water should already be standard. It is a small cost that translates into great comfort for users, and at the same time a signal that the institution is following modern, socially friendly solutions.
The installation of drinking water outlets in public spaces is a solution that brings with it benefits alone - both for residents, the environment and the institutions responsible for water infrastructure. It is convenience, economy, ecology and responsibility in one. It is also an opportunity for city and municipal authorities to implement a practice that combines care for the common good and modern urban space management.
