Monash Chooses Tap Water!
Published on 08 February 2022
Choosing tap over bottled water has been made even easier for the Monash community, with three new drinking fountains installed at sporting hubs, thanks to Yarra Valley Water.
The fountains are now located at the following hubs:
- Monash Aquatic and Recreation Centre (MARC)
- Waverley Basketball Centre
- Waverley District Netball Association Courts
Fitted with antibacterial nozzles and a bottle refill station, the fountains will make it more convenient for Monash residents to refill their bottle with fresh tap water when they’re next on court or going for a swim. They also feature a dog bowl for your thirsty dogs!
Through providing a sustainable alternative to bottled water, we hope that we will see more of the community choosing to refill, resulting in less plastic waste in our community.
Residents are encouraged to keep a reusable bottle handy when they’re next out for a walk or playing sport in these locations.
The fountains have been installed as part of Yarra Valley Water's Choose Tap program, which aims to increase access to tap water in shared public spaces and reduce single-use plastic bottles.
