Take Your H2O To Go --- There's an App for That!
|
Grab your water bottles and head for the tap, Hampton Roads. Now there's an app for that! We're thrilled to announce the launch of a new mobile application to help you find free tap water at business and fountain locations throughout the region. The new TapIt Hampton Roads app, available for free for iPhone and Android devices, is a convenient way for you to refill your reusable water bottle with clean, healthy tap water while you're out and about.
With over 100 TapIt locations in the region, the network provides a no-cost alternative to bottled water that reduces landfill waste and litter. The app makes finding participating businesses and water fountains easy, and app users can share their experiences with friends by tagging their refills on Facebook and Twitter.
Local restaurants, cafes, retail stores, etc. can get on the TapIt map by signing up to become a TapIt partner. Joining the network is easy and free. And there are no obligations; you just need a faucet behind the counter, soda machine or any self-service access to water. Download the app today-- and fill 'er up. We'll drink to that!
