Official Website of 'Bundy On Tap'
The Australian town of Bundanoon, in the NSW Southern Highlands, 150 km
south west of Sydney, has decided of its own volition to neither sell, nor
giveaway, bottled still water, within the town precinct.
A meeting of about 20 businesses initially agreed to the initiative. This was
followed by community meeting in early July 2009, where the packed town hall
of 356 residents voted overwhelmingly to support the initiative. It is believed,
once bottled water alternatives are in place — hopefully by late September 2009
— the initiative will make Bundanoon Australia's First Bottled Water Free Town.
(And possibly the world's first.)
This small town community initiative has generated unprecedented national
and international media coverage and worldwide support.
As part of the initiative, Bundanoon is expanding drinking water facilities in the
town. Indeed, it’s anticipated that access to drinking water in Bundanoon will be
greater than before ‘Bundy On Tap’ began. Businesses will make available for
sale reusable drink bottles and chilled filtered tap water, whilst free filtered
water stations or 'bubblers' will also be provided for the public and primary
school children.
