Water ATM in Eco ParkWater

German Technology at work: Coin and card operated water kiosk

Pure, chilled one litre water at Rs 2. Bring your bottle or glass. Adjoining entry plaza of Gate 2 of Eco Park, turn left once you enter.  Can be paid in coin through a slot. Can also be paid through a touch card if you don't have the change (see trial pic below):

Trial yesterday at Eco Park. Hugely popular

 We started trial run yesterday. Visitors entering Eco Park Gate 2 were told that Water ATM is just inside. Water tanks had to be refilled as so many peple used it on the very first day. There was even a minor queue in the evening. An operator has a help desk. The Rs 2 collections will go towards his pay and maintenance/ cleaning. A pay-and-drink concept just to make it sustainable.

German technology, Indian make. All things are automatic. The number of times water is drawn in one litre steps is kept inside an electronic counter with which the money received can be tallied. Water samples can be taken at each of the four step processes: oxidation, iron removal, activated carbon and Ultra Violet radiation. Water is stored in chillers before delivery.
