Water quality
Our priority is to provide safe, reliable, high-quality drinking water for the community. Our scientists conduct comprehensive water monitoring through regular sampling and testing to achieve this.
The City's water is among the highest quality in Australia and continues to meet the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines 2011. Find out more about water quality and testing on our Water quality page.
Water refill points
Water refill stations continue to be installed in public spaces across the Gold Coast to provide access to free drinking water where people need it most.
Look out at your favourite location for one of our hydration stations and make sure to bring your own water bottle to refill!
