Choose Tap

Our Choose Tap program aims to increase awareness of the health, environmental and financial benefits of drinking tap water.

More than a billion people worldwide do not have access to safe drinking water - but sometimes in Australia we take our quality tap water for granted. Australians spend more than $500 million a year on bottled water, which puts a strain on the environment, and is an expense we could easily avoid. Water is the best source of hydration, is calorie free, and tap water is a bargain compared to any other drink.

Through Choose Tap we install permanent hydration stations, provide sponsorship to community groups, organisations and schools and deliver education sessions to promote the benefits of tap water. Here is some of what we do.

Sponsorship

Water bottles, portable water units, water cafes and other sponsorship arrangement all promote Choose Tap and are available through sponsorship arrangements for eligible community and sporting groups and schools. Book a portable hydration stations or water cafe for your event or request drink bottles at Sponsorship | Goulburn Valley Water

Choose Tap education

Our Choose Tap education program provides teachers with the materials they need to teach children that drinking water is good for healthy bodies, teeth and brains. Education officers are available to run Choose Tap sessions at your school by completing an online booking form or contacting education@gvwater.vic.gov.au
