Fountain in Čupićeva Street
The water is safe for drinking
The fountain in Čupićeva Street is located near the current railway crossing by the silos and “Žitopromet,” in front of the former old tannery, the furniture factory “Jedinstvo,” and later the premises of the trading company “Zaječar-promet.”
Svetolik Mišković, an industrialist, erected the fountain for the needs of his tannery in 1927. The fountain has changed its location several times. In 1937, the fountain acquired its present appearance. It was renovated in 1984.
In early 2024, through joint efforts of the City of Zaječar, the company “Heineken” Serbia and the association “Za Drinking Fountains,” the restoration of the original iron fountain was carried out, and the immediate surroundings were arranged.
In addition to this fountain, there is another one in the factory yard, using water from the same well.
