Refill Eastbourne

25/05/2026

Use this time of hot weather to change over to using refillable drinking water bottles and our network of refill stations. We have about 70 where you can pop into a shop like Greggs or Lush and ask for your bottle to be topped up.
We also have a super network of refill stations around town, many in the form of "Dolphins". These are made from recycled fishing net taken from the Cornish coastline.
Use this interactive map to locate your nearest place where you can top up your bottle. Stay hydrated! This fresh drinking water is free! https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/viewer?hl=en&ll=50.88045154393894%2C0.25496548870021396&z=11&mid=1rYt3n83iSis9OCzZmt8xW4yQK8D0kbY

Protecting yourselves at home during very hot weather

A simple way to keep your home cool:
If you have windows on the shaded part of your home: keep them open, so long as it is safe to do so.
If you have windows facing the sun: keep the windows shut. Keep the curtains drawn. If you have shutters, keep them closed with the slats facing upwards towards the outside.
Keep internal doors open.

Here is our updated network of Refill Stations. We now have 16 places where you can refill your drinking bottle on the go. All are now working fully. The most recent ones to be brought back into use are the ones owned by the Eastbourne Borough Council ~ 2 at the Bandstand toilets and one at the Lifeguards Station. We are so thrilled and happy to have achieved these successes after literally years of negotiating with the Council! Thanks go to Andy White of ACWhite Plumbing and to Paul Collins ~ Operational Seafront Manager. Please share as widely as possible!

When Southern Water provide emergency bottles of water, they are increasing plastic pollution. They must start providing water in glass bottles, or cardboard or cans. What are your thoughts?
