Odesa's Drinking Fountains: Maintenance and Water Quality

In Odesa, there are 17 drinking fountain complexes equipped with wells ranging from 80 to 120 meters deep. All of them are managed by the Municipal Enterprise «Service Center». The water from these wells is freely available to all residents.

The municipal workers also carry out the following tasks:

  • disinfecting the water dispensing taps;
  • sanitary cleaning of the water dispensing zones and the surrounding area;
  • cleaning the adjacent territory;
  • systematic clearing of leaves and debris from the roofs of the fountain buildings.
