It is the association Street nurses, that helps homeless people, which made the map. In association with the City of Brussels, it has just updated its plan of water fountains (PDF, 1,29MB) in the city center. It was spread for the first time in the urgency of the heat wave of 2006. These water fountains are operational from May till September.

Since 2010, the public toilets are on the map as well.

The essential good for all

People who live in the streets can thus reach easily free sources of drinking water. Beyond the social step, this updated plan will also help the passers-by, the tourists or the commuters. This plan was realized by taking into account strategic points at the heart of the City: the places for tourists or homeless people. The Brussels Pentagon now has about 30 sources of drinkable water.

A mark above the fountains shows if the water is potable. The mark was made by the City of Brussels and the IBGE (Environment Brussels). The map will also be visible in the metro stations of the STIB.
