Water taps in Apeldoorn
Feeling thirsty whilst out and about? There are several places in Apeldoorn where you can get free drinking water.
Free drinking water on the go
The water taps in Apeldoorn are public taps providing clean tap water. You’ll find them in various locations around the city, such as in parks, near playgrounds, on sports fields and in shopping areas.
The drinking fountains are handy for walkers, cyclists, sports enthusiasts and other visitors who want to have a drink or top up their water bottles whilst out and about.
Why have water taps?
By installing water taps, Apeldoorn Council is making it easier to use a reusable water bottle. This has several advantages:
- free drinking water on the go
- reduced use of plastic bottles
- good for the environment
- a healthy choice whilst walking, exercising or enjoying leisure activities
Encouraging the use of reusable bottles is in line with the council’s sustainability ambitions. Water fountains thus help to create a healthy and sustainable living environment. Free public water fountains are widely used in the Netherlands as an alternative to disposable bottles.
