The idea for the project came from Copenhagen Zoo, which sent a proposal to Frederiksberg Forsyning. The utility company seized on the opportunity to manage more rainwater.
The two parties were in agreement about the project from the very beginning.
Today, the Zoo and Frederiksberg Forsyning still meet regularly to follow up on existing and new joint rainwater projects.
At the same time, Frederiksberg Municipality and Frederiksberg Forsyning have a joint cloudburst secretariat that manages solutions in the entire municipality.
The infiltration system solution at the Zoo required approval from Frederiksberg Municipality. Furthermore, the health inspector granted authorisation to use rainwater at the Zoo, as visitors can come into contact with the water.
