Public water bottle fill stations ready for use in Medicine Hat

Clean water for drinking is even more accessible now for those who live in Medicine Hat. Throughout this summer, a pilot program consisting of 10 potable water bottle fill stations are being installed on city fire hydrants throughout the Hat. Director of City Assets, Pat Bohan says the City took a cost effective approach when assembling the stations by reusing existing parts on hand.

The pilot program will run through the summer of 2022 and will be evaluated on usage, community feedback, and a cost-benefit analysis.  You can find the locations of the water stations by visiting shapeyourcity.medicinehat.ca
