Questions
- Where can I refill a water bottle in Seoul?
- The map shows all 218 mapped drinking water points in Seoul, most of them in parks, squares and along walking routes. Tap a marker for directions.
- Is the tap water in these fountains safe to drink?
- Every point shown here is tagged in OpenStreetMap as drinking water, and sources explicitly marked as not potable are excluded. Fountains can still be seasonal, so in cold climates expect many to be shut off over winter.
- Are drinking fountains in Seoul open all year?
- In cities with freezing winters, outdoor fountains are usually drained and closed from autumn to spring to stop the pipes bursting. The map does not track the seasonal shutoff, so treat winter results as approximate.
- Where does this drinking water points data come from?
- From OpenStreetMap, a map built by volunteer surveyors and maintained continuously. It is the best available source for small fixtures like this one, because they are the things commercial map providers do not bother collecting.
- Something is missing or wrong. Can I fix it?
- Yes, and it is the fastest way to get it corrected. Edit the point on openstreetmap.org and the change flows through to this page on the next refresh. There is no separate database here to correct.
- Is the list of drinking water points in Seoul complete?
- It is as complete as the local survey effort. Densely mapped cities are close to exhaustive; elsewhere expect gaps. The map is always the fuller view, since the list on this page only names the points that have a name.
