It's estimated that Guernsey Water's refill taps have dispensed more than 20,000 litres of water since being introduced in 2021.
The company is celebrating World Refill Day (16 June) and says the stations have saved energy and the disposal of an estimated 40,000 single-use plastic bottles.
The first refill station at the Liberation Monument opened two years ago today. Now another six, at a number of coastal locations, the KGV sports ground and the reservoir, are in regular use.
In addition, around 60 businesses have signed up to allow people to refill bottles for free.
Destiny Hollyer-Hill was 11 years old when she put the idea of a refill scheme to the States.
“Six years ago, when I first asked for my reusable bottle to be refilled at a beach kiosk, I had no idea that it would lead to over 60 refill points in 2023.
Guernsey Water, Plastic Free Guernsey and Guernsey Waste have been amazing and I love seeing them being used. The other day saw a queue of cubs or scouts at the Cobo one and felt really chuffed."
