Lismore then; Lismore now

In 2010 Lismore City Council installed water bubblers in the Lismore CBD to provide free filtered water. It was (and still is) a terrific example of how local government can play its part in reducing the demand for purchased water and help get rid of plastic bottles.

Then: 2010

 Lismore City Council water education officer Kevin Trustum drinks from one of the new water bubblers on Woodlark Street in the Lismore CBD, while mayor Jenny Dowell lines up refillable water bottles on offer for residents.

It's more than time other local councils did likewise. However, let's hope other councils don't use the same signwriter. (Hint: check out the bottom line)

Yamba has one too, Clarrie - at the corner of Yamba Street and Coldstream Street, just outside the Bottle Shop (nice irony!)
