Water cube bulk shopping & transport
Kieze interested in purchasing water cubes together for a bulk discount and getting them delivered to the site can organize this here!
more info on the water situation on site: https://www.loomio.org/d/VIwzai9N/drinking-water-planning-aquarius
Please be advised that every water cube (however the state, new or used), should be washed with a high-pressure water hose (will be available at toolhaus) and bleach! do not buy 2nd hand water cubes that contained anything but edible materials!
Storage
Cubes can be stored over the year at the shed 7km away from the site. Should be fine there.

Hi everyone, I found a supplier on Ebay Kleinanzeige that would deliver FOR FREE to Freiland and each cube costs 65 euros, so really cheap! Those who can understand German should check it out: https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/1000-liter-tank-ibc-17-18-postleitzahl-lieferung-kostenlos/578117504-84-134 -- you can get in touch with Felix Steffen at +491732087472 -- remember that the earliest delivery date to the site is June 15th.

@danielaquariusdrin does this seem like a good deal to you?

Oh that sounds awesome! Thanks for checking!

Sounds like a good deal @joicebiazoto but it doesn't explicitly say what these cubes have been used for before. So this would be something that needs to be checked by the supplier (I would ask, if it they are safe to store drinking water) before.

on it.

Ok, called the guy: The cubes have been used for food before (sunflower oil for example). They are pre-washed, but not disinfected. The other cubes that we saw on the site are also from him. They come with a disclaimer that they may only be used for rain water. If the "Gesundheitsamt" does an inspection, we are going to get in trouble if it's labeled as drinking water. @danielaquariusdrin

An option that we are probably going to use: previously used water cube, but with renewed "Blase" (= interior of cube) and new valves etc. - price: 125 EUR. https://www.regenwassertanks-ulm.de/ibc-tank-neue-blase-1000l-trinkwassertank-auf-hol.html - no need to clean it before filling it with drinking water

I'm in touch with them regarding delivery - let me know if you want to order from them as well, then we can arrange bulk delivery, max. 5 per delivery tho

Kinderkiez is interested as we will probably not be on site early enough to do the washing @bandit you are the only person early enough I think.

As of so far it doesn't seem like any Kiez has taken on the task of organizing a bulk order.
