Tap water. 100% pure water. Delicious, clean and free, we sure love singing its praises.
And thanks to Thames Water, we have another reason to rejoice: sparkling tap water.
That’s right. Gently bubbling chilled tap water. Designed by top water tasters (yes, these are real people), Thames sparkling tap water has been engineered to have the highest standards of quality and taste.
Thames Water’s London on Tap campaign is now serving sparkling tap water free of charge to diners in celebrity chef Aldo Zilli’s London restaurant, in reusable carafes. So long plastic bottles, and so long to that awkward moment when you have to ask for tap.
If enough customers embrace the sparkling tap water experience, then soon we’ll see it available to more diners in various, locations around London and the Thames Valley.
Ps- We love tap water so much that we invented World Tap Water Week, an annual celebration of all things tap related.
