“Plans to renovate the dilapidated tower and other structures have been in the works for several years. I am pleased that, based on a joint agreement enshrined in a memorandum signed by the participants in September 2020, we will ultimately succeed in expanding the project with unique exhibitions and educational spaces that will transform the site into a water science centre.”

“Veolia engages in similar CSR projects around the world. Hydropolis is a revitalisation project, a project of new hope for a wonderful space in the heart of the city. For Veolia, this project symbolises the search for a new avenue of partnership between the private and public sectors that recognises the interests of both partners.”

Member of the Board of Directors and Director of the Water Business Line, Veolia Czech Republic Group
“The Hydropolis project is a big step towards revitalising the disused site of the historic Vinohrady Waterworks from the end of the 19th century. Hydropolis will offer the general public an innovative way to learn more about how water is managed and why this is important. I firmly believe Hydropolis will play an important role in educating people about water issues not only in Prague, but across the Czech Republic.”
Michal Hroza,
Prague City Councillor for Infrastructure
“Hydropolis will offer the general public an innovative way to learn more about water management. The project is designed to deliver both an educational and a cultural experience. It will also include a conference hall hosting seminars and meetings on environmental issues and sustainability, as well as other cultural and social events.”
