A partnership of organisations including Bass Coast Health, Council and Westernport Water, have launched a campaign urging people to "choose tap" for their drinking water this summer.
The South Coast Water Partnership said it is committed to making tap water the drink of choice across Bass Coast and South Gippsland.
The nine organisations have launched a Choose Tap campaign, shining a spotlight on new and popular refilling locations, from coastal walks to local cafes and parks.
Featuring local faces and places, this digital effort emphasises the convenience, and eco-friendly and health benefits of using refillable water bottles, encouraging a cleaner, greener South Coast for residents and visitors.
"Choosing tap water supports health, reduces plastic waste, and contributes to a sustainable South Coast region we can all be proud of," says Dona Tantirimudalige, Managing Director of Westernport Water.
"Keeping a reusable water bottle or glass of water within reach is an easy way to remind yourself to drink more water throughout the day."
The South Coast Water Partnership encourages everyone to support this movement by sharing the message to Choose Tap, refilling reusable bottles, and tapping into naturally better hydration one refill at a time.
Formed in 2016, the South Coast Water Partnership unites nine organisations committed to promoting the accessibility of tap water for a healthier community and environment: South Gippsland and Westernport Water; Bass Coast Health, Gippsland Southern Health Service, and South Gippsland Hospital; Bass Coast and South Gippsland Shire Councils; GippSport; and the Gippsland Region Public Health Unit.
