Water Fountains
We noticed how well the Water Bar went down, so what if we could do this all day, every day? The answer seemed simple - good old fashioned water fountains! Learn more below...

What is it?
We're constantly being inspired to reduce the level of plastic we use and as a water company, we know we had a responsibility to offer our area plastic free solutions when they're on the go. We noticed how well the Water Bar went down, so what if we could do this all day, every day? The answer seemed simple - good old fashioned water fountains! And so began our mission of filling our supply area with free water for everyone to use whenever they fancied hydrating without hurting the bank account, or the planet.
Why we do it?
It's important that we provide the local people with new ways of refilling their bottles on the go, in fact we see it as our responsibility. We relish any opportunity we have to make everyone's lives that little bit easier and with free water we thought we'd do just that. We're lucky enough to have plenty of high quality drinking water and our fountains are a perfect way to help the younger generation appriciate good, old fashioned tap water.
