You Should Try the Swiss Fountain Water | In the Mundane

Switzerland is famous for its beautiful fountains, but one thing left me wondering—why are they always running? 🤔 Where I’m from, a constantly flowing fountain usually means the water is recirculating, so how is Swiss fountain water safe to drink? I did some research, and in this video, I explain how Swiss fountains work, why they never stop running, and whether they are safe to drink from. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is Swiss fountain water drinkable?” or “Where does the water in Swiss fountains come from?”—you’ll find the answers here! Have you ever tried water from a Swiss fountain? I think it tastes pretty great! 💧🇨🇭 ............ Basel Tourismus. (n.d.). Fountains: Basel’s most refreshing summer experience.
