Visitors to Glasgow's Botanic Gardens in the west end and Queen's Park on the south side could soon benefit from new top-up water taps under new plans by Scottish Water - offering access to fresh, clean drinking water at the push of a button.
They have submitted planning applications for the new taps, one of which will be located outside the entrance to Queen's Park at Pollokshaws Road/Balvicar Street, with the other located inside the Botanic Gardens near to the Kibble Palace.
The units, which will be connected to the mains water supply and inspected regularly, digitally track water usage, helping record both cost and plastic savings.
It is part of Scottish Water's wider strategic campaign ‘Your Water, Your Life’ to install outdoor water bottle filling stations across Scotland to encourage and promote the use of refillable bottles which customers can fill up with one of the country’s best-loved products - our nation’s tap water.
The plans for the new taps come after Scottish Water installed a similar tap in the middle of Buchanan Street back in December of 2018 .
