Garda presents itself eco-friendly and innovative
Drinkwater
Via dei Pioppi - GardaSince 2012 there is a so called "Water House" in the city of Garda.
The idea behind it: to reduce plastic waste and to fill up reusable bottles instead of buying water in the supermarket.
The service is free for all residents. Only sparkling water costs a few cents.
Here you can view the data sheet of the water analysis: Qualità acqua casette
Water quality
The water supply of Garda is managed by AGS (Azienda Gardesana Servizi) which monitors both drinking water and bathing waters.
The results of the analysis are published regularly on the AGS website: Analisi acque potabili e balneabilità
Furthermore, you will find information about possible interruptions in the water supply or planned maintenance work.
