Filling up your water bottle while you’re out and about on the Coast is about to get a whole lot easier, with the installation of seven new water refill stations.
Central Coast Council is currently installing the water filter stations at high traffic areas including: Heazlett Park, Avoca; Hylton Moore Oval, East Gosford; Greenvale Playground, Green Point; Rumbalara Reserve, Springfield; MacKillop Oval, South Kincumber; The Skillion, Terrigal, and, Narara Valley Precinct Park.
The project started in early November and is expected to be completed by the end of February.
The new fixtures will complement stations already established throughout the region at Avoca Beach, Terrigal Beach, Kincumber, Copacabana and Gosford’s Kibble Park.
Each unit has multiple taps for drinking out of, with refill dispensers on each side.
The stations at Heazlett Park, Hylton Moore Oval, Greenvale Playground and The Skillion will also keep our canine companions hydrated with attached dog water bowls.
Council Administrator, Mr Ian Reynolds, said the organisation was proud to provide a convenient resource to the community.
“Council is ensuring visitors and residents have unlimited access to free filtered water when they visit popular areas around the Central Coast,” said Mr Reynolds.
“I’m proud that we can offer this service to the community and expand on the existing water stations that were installed in 2014.
“Our water refill stations will continue to help residents and visitors avoid outlaying millions of dollars on purchasing bottled water, they will also help reduce the amount of unnecessary landfill in our region.”
