FYI: Free Water (Or Almost Free) Station In Central Stresa

This is Stresa's new water station. The Casa dell'Acqua is located just a few short streets from Piazza Cadorna, and centrally located enough to hotels, lake, and train station. Whenever you're passing by, or when starting your day of sightseeing, or, when heading back to your room after a long day, make this part of your route.

This summer, the station, which was opened on July 3, seems to be offering water to all for free. At some time however, there should be a small charge initiated, only 10 euro cents for 1.5 liters of water.

The control panel on the left gives you choices of natural or fizzy water, and sizes of .5, 1.0, and 1.5 liter. There should be a coin slot added soon and instructions for use are on the wall to the left.

And the A marks where the water station is located, in Piazza Giuseppe Sirtori. For reference, the Piazza Cadorna is the large space on the map to the right of Via Principe Tomaso.

The weather's been hot here and I think this water station is a great idea that should be much used and appreciated. Grazie Stresa, for this initiative! The only thing that could make it better would be if it dispensed Prosecco. One can dream, no? :-)

Stresa Sights said...: Marco, yes, exactly, it seems the free initiation period is over, and now one must deposit 10 euro cents. Still a great bargain and very convenient!; August 12, 2011 2:57 AM
