Source of Water in Manavgat, Türkiye

Tap water in Manavgat comes from local groundwater wells in the district, including wells in the Manavgat River basin. It is not generally brought in from another city.

ASAT, Antalya’s water utility, treats and disinfects the water before distributing it through the municipal network. Chlorine is used to help keep the water safe as it travels to homes.

Manavgat Drinking Fountains

Manavgat’s municipal tap water is treated, but that does not guarantee that every public drinking fountain is connected to the treated network or regularly maintained. Fountain water is safest to drink when the fountain is clearly marked as potable and its outlet is clean and in good condition.

If there is no clear indication that the water is drinkable, choose bottled water instead. Avoid using a fountain with damaged plumbing, poor cleanliness, or no working flow.
