As temperatures rise in the Costa Blanca, Benidorm City Council has taken proactive measures to combat the summer heat by installing free chilled water fountains. This initiative, developed in partnership with Hidraqua, aims to ensure residents and tourists have easy access to refreshingly cool water in high-traffic public spaces.

The first of these fountains was recently installed at the junction of Avenida Armada Española and Avenida Racharell. Two additional fountains will follow later this week at Séquia Mare Park and Plaza del Torrejó, adjacent to the Tourist Office. Each of these fountains connects to the municipal drinking water supply, ensuring a sustainable source.

The fountains’ design prioritises accessibility, catering to individuals with reduced mobility. Benidorm mayor Toni Pérez affirmed that the hygienic standards of the fountains are strictly monitored, assuring the public that the water complies with high-quality health and safety regulations.

This pilot project highlights Benidorm’s commitment to enhancing public amenities while promoting environmental sustainability and public health, especially during the busy summer months. Residents and visitors alike can look forward to a refreshing experience on the streets of Benidorm as temperatures soar.
