THIS ONE SMALL UPGRADE IS MAKING BIG WAVES IN LOCAL COUNCILS

12 Feb 2026


Councils are increasingly adopting smarter drinking water infrastructure upgrades to reduce maintenance issues, meet compliance requirements and improve community satisfaction. Ageing or poorly designed drinking fountains often lead to leaks, hygiene concerns and accessibility complaints, placing additional pressure on already stretched maintenance teams.



Rather than relying on short-term fixes, many councils are investing in durable, low-maintenance solutions that deliver long-term reliability and visible public value. Across parks, trails, stadiums and open spaces, Civiq’s Aquafil and Elkay drinking water stations are being selected for their robust stainless steel construction, universal access design and ability to withstand high public use.

Features such as anti-bacterial bottle refill nozzles, large-capacity drainage systems and vandal-resistant finishes help prevent common issues while encouraging reusable bottle use. These smart upgrades reduce operational costs, minimise complaints and strengthen public confidence, proving that small infrastructure changes can deliver significant long-term benefits.
