Now you can drink water from the hydrant too

According to szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu, after Budapest and Tihany, you can meet special drinking fountains converted from hydrants in Pecs as well. They give excellent water at one touch. They are especially handy during hot days and make a good service for passers wanting refreshment.

Ivocsap (Drinking Tap) Project won the Smart City Lab contest of Design Terminal. The idea came from four architecture students: Sarolta Huttl, Judit Soltesz, Zsofi Zetenyi and Zsofia Zoletnyik. Accroding to their basic concept, they fit a special head on the unused hydrants of streets, from which water can be drunk at the push of a button. Besides the new function, the hydrant keeps its original, fire safety role as well.

The new refreshment points were designed in central parts of Pecs, on Szechenyi Square and Dom Square, where you can find not just spray gates but two new drinking fountains as well. These can be taken advantage from spring to autumn. Their number will likely grow in the near future – pecsma.hu learned it from Vice Mayor of Pecs Laszlo Ori. At the push of a button, excellent quality-drinking water comes from the drinking taps which are continuously monitored.
