“Leitungswasser?” a thirsty traveler might ask, peering at the Brunnentrog. Yes, this unassuming stone trough, the Brunnentrog, is more than meets the eye. It’s a testament to Zurich’s dedication to fresh, clean water for all. Did you know that Zurich boasts over 1200 fountains, all dispensing top-quality drinking water? The Brunnentrog, with its simple design, is a vital part of this network. It’s connected to a separate spring water network that dates back to the 15th century. This network, spanning 150 kilometers, supplies not only fountains but also over 80 emergency water points. Imagine, in the event of a water shortage, this Brunnentrog, and others like it, become lifelines. So the next time you take a sip from the Brunnentrog, remember you’re experiencing a piece of Zurich’s history and commitment to public well-being.
