Information Afternoon for the Kick-off
The official start of this year’s season is accompanied by an information afternoon held under the motto “Tap Water is Drinking Water.” From 2:00 PM, experts from the Zweckverband JenaWasser will be on-site to provide interested citizens with detailed information about the origin, treatment, and strict quality controls of the local drinking water.
In addition to theoretical knowledge, the focus is also on practical enjoyment: visitors will receive tips on how to refine classic tap water using simple means such as fresh fruit, herbs, or spices. At the information stand, visitors can try out and taste their own mixtures directly.
Sustainable Refreshment in Everyday Life
Even after the event day, the refill station remains a permanent point of contact for passers-by in Winzerla. During the regular opening hours of the Stadtteilbüro, everyone can once again obtain fresh tap water there free of charge – ideal for walkers or children spending time at the surrounding playgrounds.
Background: Drinking Water Quality and the Refill Concept
Drinking water is the most strictly controlled food product in Germany. In Jena, too, the highest standards apply, ensured by regular laboratory samples from the Zweckverband JenaWasser. The establishment of so-called “water quarters” and public refill stations aims to motivate people to drink more tap water in their daily lives. This not only saves money but also makes a direct contribution to active environmental protection in the region by avoiding single-use plastic bottles and transport routes.
