About

We're really excited to launch the first community program that's part of our "Be a refiller, not a landfiller" campaign.

What is the Refiller program?

The heart of the Refiller Program involves the installation for all abilities water refill stations throughout Tasmania. This initiative aims to promote healthy hydration habits while significantly reducing single-use plastic bottles, which often end up in landfills or our waterways. We are thrilled to have partnered with local Councils across the state as well as the Tasmania JackJumpers and their beloved mascot, Jack, to champion this cause and "Defend the Island, one bottle at a time."

By the start of 2025, we plan to install 32 refill stations in popular locations across Tasmania. These stations will provide convenient access to clean drinking water, encouraging the community to refill and reuse instead of relying on disposable plastic bottles. Together we can collectively reduce the staggering 130kg of single-use plastic waste the average Tasmanian generates annually.

Updates


Since creation, the palawa have lived here in lutruwita - Tasmania. Over 2,000 generations of Aboriginal families have cared for this Country, looking after its lands, seas, skies and waterways.

In the spirit of respect and gratitude, TasWater acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal community as the traditional and ongoing custodians. We pay our respects to them, their culture and to elders past and present. We also acknowledge any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are here with us today.

TasWater commits to working collaboratively and respectfully with the Tasmanian Aboriginal community to protect and sustain the precious resources on this ancient land for future generations.
