The dev.ua editorial team has collected online resources where you can get water in Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, Odessa, and Dnipro during outages.

Kyiv
In 2017, a map of operating pump rooms was created in Kyiv, the network of which is serviced by the Kyivvodfond Public Enterprise. The enterprise maintains and repairs the facilities, monitors the quality and safety of drinking water, and also informs the townspeople about their work. In total, it has 175 operating pump rooms.
Dnipro
In 2025, an interactive map appeared in Dnipro, which displays 128 reserve wells and water dispensers for use during outages or accidents. Most of the wells are located on the left bank of the city, but the water from them is mainly technical and requires treatment before use. The service helps citizens quickly find the nearest water sources and plan its collection in critical situations.
Kharkiv
In 2025, the “Kharkiv — Your Home” chatbot launched a function for quickly searching for drinking water points. In the “Life Support and Public Safety” section, users can view lists of pump rooms by district or send their geolocation to find the nearest points directly on the map (with the ability to manually adjust the marker during GPS failures due to air alarms). The bot provides complete data about each point: type, address, opening hours, cost, support contacts, and distance.
In addition, the chat bot includes a link to the "Kharkov City Geoportal" with an interactive map of drinking water sources.
Odesa
The specialized municipal enterprise "Service Center" is engaged in the maintenance and operation of pump room complexes in Odessa.
Also, a general list and maps of the city's pump rooms are traditionally published on the specialized portal Pump Rooms of Odessa .
Lviv
In Lviv, public drinking water is provided through a network of drinking fountains in the central part of the city and parks, as well as through drinking water points.
Walk With Me
An interactive map of drinking fountains and free bottle refill points can be viewed through the Walk With Me service.
Information about the location of city drinking water points and the launch of new fountains is published on the Lviv City Council portal , but there is no separate specialized section or interactive map.
