Providing Clean Water to South West Slopes and Riverina region
Goldenfields Water manages water supply in Bland, Coolamon, Junee, Temora, and parts of Cootamundra-Gundagai, Hilltops, and Narrandera. They provide clean drinking water to around 46,000 customers in an area of 22,526 sq. km in parts of New South Wales.
Understanding Communities Together
In 2017, Goldenfields Water embarked on a quest to deepen their connection with the communities they serve. They recognised the importance of community input. And launched their inaugural Community Engagement Strategy. This initiative aimed to understand each locality’s unique needs and experiences. Forging stronger bonds along the way.
Drinking Fountains: Fight Plastic Waste, Choose Tap Water
Goldenfields Water cares about the environment and the community. They installed drinking fountains that have taps for filling water bottles. This helps reduce the use of plastic bottles. With easy access to fresh and clean drinking water, they encourage people to choose tap.
Aquafil FlexiFountain Drinking Water Stations
Goldenfields Water picked Civiq Aquafil FlexiFountain for their drinking water stations. These stations have taps for refilling water bottles, a drinking fountain, and even a dog bowl.
Breah Coleman from Goldenfields Water said that Civiq’s Aquafil FlexiFountain was the perfect choice for their community.
“Multifunction units including two water bottle refill taps, a bubbler fountain and the dog bowl.
These fountains with large custom graphic panels also look attractive in the community”.
Drinking Water Stations in Different Places
Goldenfields Water donated 38 stations to 20 communities. These communities are in Junee, Cootamundra-Gundagai, Bland, Hilltops, Temora, Coolamon, and Narrandera. The drinking water stations are in parks, sports facilities. And other places where people need water while being active.
According to Breah:
“Our community benefits mostly from the bottle refill function. Many of our stations feature at local sporting facilities, parks and pathways.
This is where people need taps to fill up their water bottles with fresh water while exercising“.
Working with Communities for a Better Future
Goldenfields Water’s Community Engagement Strategy is making a difference. They provide clean water and help reduce plastic waste. They want to create a better future for the South West Slopes and Riverina regions of New South Wales.
