Frankenthal opens the second drinking water fountain at the Speyer Tor!

Fresh water comes into play! On Wednesday, August 13, 2025, a new drinking water dispenser at Speyer Tor was officially inaugurated in Frankenthal. This facility is intended to help the population and the visitors of the city free, barrier -free access to high -quality drinking water. The Stadtwerke Frankenthal has put a lot of effort into it and relocated new drinking water pipes around 18 meters so that everything runs optimally.

At the opening ceremony, there was something very special for the citizens present: 50 high -quality thermal bottles were distributed free of charge. This should not only stimulate the use of the well, but also make a sustainable contribution to avoiding plastic waste. Who needs disposable bottles if they can transport their own fresh water with style?

financing and costs

The installation of the well cost around 20,000 euros. This sum is made up of funding from the State of Rhineland-Palatinate, which cost 8,000 euros, a generous donation from the dissolved Kiwanis local association in Frankenthal in the amount of 8,000 euros and a share of the municipal utility of 4,000 euros. This joint effort shows that the city and its partners have a good knack in promoting environmental awareness and civil -friendly projects.

more plans for drinking water donors

and that's not all! As early as the summer of 2024, a first drinking water fountain was opened on Rathausplatz, and the city plans to set up two other drinking water dispensers on Jakobsplatz and in the Ostpark. In addition, a new water dispenser is to be installed on the station forecourt after its renovation. With these measures, Frankenthal becomes even more livable and environmentally conscious.

The city administration of Frankenthal also assumes the annual consumption and maintenance costs. This includes monthly water trials and the billing of the tapped water after consumption. A small badge on the fountain is reminiscent of the generous donors who made this project possible.

The initiative for drinking water dispensers in Frankenthal is a step in the right direction, which not only improves drinking water supply, but also contributes to environmental protection. So the next time you will get past the Speyer Tor, you should definitely try the new well and treat yourself to a refreshing break - without plastic waste!
