Visitors to St Albans can now refill their water bottles with tap water for free at a growing network of friendly cafes, shops, hotels and businesses.
St Albans City and District Council has written to local businesses inviting them to join Refill St Albans.
The local scheme forms part of the national Refill campaign aimed at addressing the impact of single-use plastic bottles on the environment.
If businesses have a water cooler, a drinking water tap or a water jug, then they are eligible to take part in the scheme.
Businesses that want to offer free tap water can register their location on the ‘Refill App’ . This app is available to download to a smart phone by people looking for somewhere to refill their water bottle at: https://www.refill.org.uk/get-the-refill-app/
