How Freee Water Activations Can Alleviate Urban Water Deserts During Summer Heatwaves.

UK Regulatory & Legal Framework for Public Water Access

The UK has stringent regulations governing public water access, influenced by the Licensing Act 2003 (Mandatory Licensing Conditions) Order 2014 and the Water Industry Act 1991. These laws mandate that licensed premises must provide free drinking water to customers, ensuring public access to hydration. Yet, practical barriers remain. Paper beats plastic. Municipal resources are strained during heatwaves, as Refill UK / City to Sea data shows a demand surge for accessible water points. Urban water deserts persist.

Refill UK, a City to Sea initiative, highlights the insufficiency of current infrastructure, urging alternative hydration solutions. Bottled water isn't a sustainable option. Paperboard cartons can fill this gap efficiently, coupled with ethical brand engagements that support infrastructure projects globally.
