Have you noticed the thousands of
single serve plastic water bottles that litter our community?
Did you know that meeting U.S. demand for bottled-water requires
energy equivalent to about 40 million barrels of oil per year?
Do you realize that producing one ton of PET plastic produces
three tons of carbon or that three gallons of water is needed to
produce one gallon of bottled water?
In order to reduce waste in our community, we proudly present
our partnership with TapIt – the
only water bottle refilling network in the U.S.
Enjoy Salt Lake City's clean drinking water with free water
refills any time you bring your reusable water bottle into
participating locations. Join the effort to keep your community

let you fill your reusable bottle with great tasting tap
water. You can find their locations by using TapIt’s website,
mobile website (same url on a Smartphone) or iPhone
application – called TapIt Water. If you have limited access
to technology, just simply look for the TapIt Salt Lake City
sticker on the windows of your favorite cafes.
Why was TapIt created?
TapIt was created to give on-the-go urbanites
a real alternative to bottled drinks. You may already know how
bulk water extraction and bottling can a effect our
communities. Over flowing landfills, expensive recycling
programs, and looming water shortages are just some of the
hidden costs of bottled water. The practical problem is that
water can be hard to find when away from home,so TapIt SLC
gives you clean drinking water without bulk water extraction
and without asking you to buy plastic bottles. Problem solved.
What is TapIt’s goal?
TapIt’s primary goal is to build a
comprehensive network of cafes and eateries across the U.S. so
that all of our neighbors and visitors can fill their reusable
bottle whenever they want. TapIt wants to help decrease waste
by reducing reliance on bottled drinks and clean up
communities by keeping
plastic bottles out of land lls and streets. Our blog aims to
start a discussion about water and sustainability issues and
create a community of citizens who are making conscious
decisions for a sustainable future.
