In an effort to reduce the local use of bottled water in environmentally unfriendly containers, the city of Aspen is considering a program to market its own municipal tap water.
Details are in the preliminary stages, but involve a three-step approach: a campaign to educate locals and visitors about the quality of the city’s tap water; providing free water at two “filling stations” around town, with one location possibly being a park; and selling reusable containers at local retail outlets to offer an alternative to plastic water bottles.
City Parks Director Jeff Woods said systems for two water-filling stations may only cost $5,000 to $10,000 each, depending on the equipment that’s purchased and the extent of the installation.
