Water fountains


UCl is committed to making free drinking water accessible to all students and staff.

Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ Estates is increasing the number of water fountains across campus. By adding more fountains, we are hoping to reduce single-use plastic on campus. 

If you have identified any additional water fountains, or an existing fountain has been removed, please contact us.

Additional water fountain resources 

  •  a global network of places to reduce, reuse and refill your water bottles
  •  - in conjunction with the Mayor of London

Drinking water stickers 


Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ is proud to have a multinational community. However, it means that not everyone is aware that tap water is safe to drink in the UK.

We have produced stickers to go on sinks and fountains which advertise safe drinking water. Since the Cancer Institute installed these stickers in our pilot, there has been a decrease in plastic water bottle sales by 38.9%.

Please contact us for stickers, and help Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ reduce single-use plastics and make drinking water accessible.

Dripping taps


It is estimated that a dripping tap can waste up to 15 litres of water a day. Reporting drips and leaks makes a valuable contribution to combatting water wastage.
