in Memmingen, the water flows not only out of the rooster, but also from numerous public fountains, which represent a refreshing source for pedestrians and cyclists. However, not every fountain adheres to the requirements for drinking water sources, as reports the Allgäuer Zeitung. In order to be recognized as a drinking water fountain, two conditions must be met: On the one hand, continuous supply of fresh drinking water must be guaranteed, on the other hand, the water must be able to be removed directly from a clearly recognizable run.

The municipal health department in Memmingen carries out regular controls to monitor water quality. This is done in accordance with the requirements of the Infection Protection Act (IFSG), which sets clear guidelines regarding drinking water quality. In this way, drinking water is harmless to health, and it is the responsibility of the health offices to continuously monitor these water sources, as the [Federal Environment Agency] (https://www.umweltbundamt.de/themen/wasser/trinkwasser/lechtliche-grundlagen-Spflagen--- Regelwerk).

official drinking water fountain and their locations

  • Frauenkirchplatz
  • gerberplatz
  • Schmiedplatz
  • Ernst-Reuter-Platz
  • Amendingen (old town hall)
  • Buxach (Kirchstrasse)
The fountain on Schmiedplatz, which has recently been recognized as a suitable drinking water source, should be emphasized. Many people incorrectly assume that all public fountains can be drinked. However, this is not the case, since standing water can be contaminated in the pools or collecting containers.

extension and drinking water dispenser in the city

The city strives to expand the range of drinking water sources. Planned new wells below the Martinskirche and at the forest cemetery should also offer the option to drink fresh water. There are also special drinking water dispensers in Memmingen that are hygienically optimized and can be used comfortably at the push of a button. Such donors are currently in the following locations:

  • Theaterplatz
  • Schießstattgarten
  • Rübezahlplatz (new donor, soon in operation)

With these measures, not only the awareness of drinking water in the city is sharpened, but also the possibility of having access to fresh water at any time and anywhere.

Due to regular monitoring and the planned extensions, Memmingen meets his responsibility for a healthy water supply. The city not only ensures refreshment on hot days, but also for the well -being of its citizens and visitors.
