These stations are regularly maintained by the company itself, and the local tap water is regularly tested by the municipality. See the test results here: at the Municipality website.

There are three TEMAK Filtered Water Stations on Andros (Gavrio, Batsi, Korthi) . These stations provide certified, filtered drinking water free of charge. Stations and Fountains filter the local tap water.

You can fill up your water bottles & containers here for all your drinking water needs. Doing this will reduce the need for plastic water bottles, reduce waste, and save money.
