On Monday, March 22, on the occasion of World Water Day, the Bratislava Water Company (BVS) presented a new model of drinking fountain. It is contactless and people can conveniently pour water into their own bottles. This model is used abroad and BVS hopes this will contribute to the reduction of plastic waste littering the countryside.
BVS has installed the first contactless drinking fountain in the garden of the Waterworks Museum in Bratislava’s Karlova Ves borough as part of a pilot project. During this year BVS will evaluate its operation and look for partners in cities and municipalities, but also private companies that would be interested in the installation of such fountains in public places. From next year, these fountains will be in use throughout the region where BVS operates.
