Water
Tap water
Potable water means water intended for human consumption that may be drunk by everyone at all times without health risks of any kind. The tap water in Florence is perfectly safe to drink.
Quality controls are mandated by legislative decree n. 31 (2001).
There are 61 parameters, divided into the following categories: microbiology, chemical, indicators and accessories; the quality of the water distributed by Publiacqua continuously and fully satisfies the requirements set forth by the law.
High quality water fountains
The city offers free high quality purified water fountains at which you can fill up your own clean bottles with natural water and, in some cases even sparkling water, like in Piazza Signoria. Several new fountains are being established in the city every year. For a complete list of their location, please visit the Publiacqua website
