Hydration trailer unveiled
COMMUNITY event organisers are being urged to take advantage of a new Wannon Water initiative aimed at reducing waste and promoting healthy choices.
The water corporation has launched its Thirst Aid Station, a 1000-litre trailer available for loan to provide free water refills at major local events.
The Thirst Aid Station complements Wannon Water’s portable free-standing drinking water points and 19-litre water coolers which have previously been available for community events.
They are part of the Water for Events program which delivers cost and environmental savings for both event organisers and attendees.
Wannon Water general manager corporate and community services Kellie King emphasised the program’s significance in enhancing community wellbeing.
“This initiative reflects our commitment to go beyond water for strong communities,” she said.
“We aim to provide attendees with the option to easily refill their bottles and cups at events.
“Recognising the rising costs of organising community events, we're offering these resources to our community free of charge.
“We want to enhance people’s health and reduce costs and plastic waste.”
Thirst Aid Station applicants need to contact Wannon Water directly and provide at least eight weeks’ notice.
