Green Fish Water Pump - Berlin, Germany - Hand Operated Water Pumps on Waymarking.com

This "Green Fish" pump is one of two such hand-operated water pumps we came across in Berlin. This one has the number 35 on it. It also includes a couple of green frogs on it.

[German] Die ca. 2000 Berliner Straßenbrunnen dienen der netzunabhängigen Notfallversorgung der Bevölkerung mit Trink- und Löschwasser. Sie werden zum einen vom Bundesamt für Bevölkerungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe und zum anderen von den Berliner Bezirksämtern betrieben. Zwei Drittel der Brunnen liefern Wasser mit Trinkwasserqualität. Da das Wasser aus dem oberflächennahen Grundwasser gefördert wird, müssen Verunreinigungen, wie sie beispielsweise bei der Autowäsche entstehen, vermieden werden. Die Trinkwasserqualität wird regelmäßig von den örtlich zuständigen Gesundheitsämtern untersucht.

[English translation courtesy of Google Translate] The approximately 2000 Berlin street fountains serve the network-independent emergency supply of the population with drinking water and fire water. They are operated on the one from the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance and on the other by the Berlin district offices. Two thirds of the wells provide water of potable quality. Since the water is conveyed from the near-surface groundwater, contaminants, as they arise, for example, at the car wash, be avoided. The drinking water quality is regularly examined by the competent health authorities locally.
