Gippsland Water is supporting the Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund (GERF) by donating 100 per cent of funds raised through the sale of premium reusable water bottles at community events. The initiative was launched at Moe Earth Market on Sunday 12 May, where market goers had the first opportunity to buy a one litre ceramic "Drink Gippy Tap" water bottle.

Supporting disaster resilience
Managing director Sarah Cumming said Gippsland Water was passionate about supporting the community during hard times. "As Gippslanders, we're no strangers to natural disasters, and neither are our customers.
"One of our roles during natural disasters is to make sure safe drinking water is available and sewer services continue. We're pleased to be able to extend our support for those in our community affected by natural disasters by supporting GERF," Ms Cumming said.
Supporting community relief
GERF president Andy Tegart thanked Gippsland Water for their support and said the funds would make a real difference to help locals who suddenly find themselves in need. "We're there for the community when a natural disaster strikes. The money raised from the Drink Gippy Tap water bottles will go into our fund, ready to support Gippslanders come fire, flood or storm."
The Drink Gippy Tap charity water bottle initiative will run as a pilot and if successful, local charities will be able to apply to be a recipient of the funds in the future. The drink bottles are $30 each and are available in three colours: white, coral and olive green. The premium water bottles are double walled and designed to keep water cool for hours.
