| How To Get Water Melbourne |
From the Tap to Your Trap (Bottle or Glass, We Don't Judge)
Melbourne boasts some of the best drinking water in the world. Thanks to our clever water catchment system and a little natural filtration magic, that tap water is good to go. Yes, Melbourne, you can ditch the fancy bottled stuff (unless you're into that whole status symbol thing) and embrace the free, refreshing goodness from your faucet.
Pro Tip: Pop your reusable bottle or glass in the fridge for an extra delightful H2-Oh experience.
Hitting the Shops: Bottled Water Bonanza (But Seriously, Refill That Bottle)
We get it, sometimes tap water just isn't your vibe. Maybe you're after that fancy sparkling stuff, or perhaps you're on a camping trip. Fear not, fellow hydro-homie! Melbourne's supermarkets and convenience stores are overflowing with bottled water options.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
But here's the thing: bottled water can be pricey and isn't exactly great for the environment. So, if you can, embrace the refillable bottle. Not only will you save some coin, but you'll also be a champion for our lovely planet.
Beyond the Bottle: Creative Hydration Hacks
Looking to spice up your water game? Here are a few fun ways to add some flavour (and maybe some vitamins) to your H2-Oh:
- Fruity Fusions: Add slices of lemon, cucumber, or berries for a refreshing twist.
- Herbal Haven: Throw in some mint, basil, or rosemary for a subtly flavoured delight.
- Citrus Squeezy: Feeling fancy? Squeeze in some fresh orange, grapefruit, or lime juice.
Remember: Keep an eye on the sugar content of fruits and opt for natural flavours over sugary syrups.

How to Choose the Right Bottled Water?
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
Look for brands with minimal packaging and those that are 100% recyclable. Opt for filtered or spring water over mineral water (unless you have a specific dietary need).
How to Make Your Water More Interesting for Kids?
Freeze berries or grapes into ice cubes for a fun and colourful addition. You can even get special shaped ice cube trays for an extra giggle factor.
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
How to Avoid Dehydration?
Carry a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go. Make it a habit to sip regularly throughout the day, even if you don't feel thirsty.
How to Make Sure Your Tap Water is Safe?
Melbourne's tap water is rigorously tested and generally very safe to drink. However, if you have concerns or are on a long trip, a simple home water filter can provide extra peace of mind.
