Choose Tap

Next time you're thirsty, make the sustainable choice. Choose tap water.

Melbourne's drinking water is world-class. Yet we still drink more bottled water than ever, creating mountains of plastic waste. 

The Choose Tap initiative works with our community to make choosing tap water easy, and to promote tap water as the most sustainable drink.

Find a Choose Tap drinking fountain near you

To make it easy to find clean, safe tap water while you are on the go, we’ve partnered with local councils and organisations to install Choose Tap water fountains around Melbourne’s west.

The water fountains are conveniently located so you can safely and easily fill your reusable drink bottles while you are out and about. There will be almost 50 Choose Tap drinking fountains installed around Melbourne’s west by 30 June 2023.

You can find your closest fountain using the handy tap finder.
