Tap water is the cheapest and healthiest way to stay hydrated.

Tap water is cheap. When you’re out and about, it’s free when you fill up from one of our drinking fountains.

It costs our customers well under 1c per litre for tap water. Bottled water costs an average $5.40 for the same amount.

The bulk of this cost is because of the bottle, lid and label.

A UN report revealed that Australians each spent about $580 buying bottled water in 2021.

The report also showed Australia has the second highest consumption of bottled water in the world, behind Singapore.

Let’s change this habit.
