For water utilities and water companies
Get more people drinking your tap water.
The fountains and refill points you already run can do far more for you once people can find them. BottleChallenge puts your tap water on a map used in 95 countries, lets you brand each point as yours, and measures every refill, so promoting tap water becomes something you can show, not just say.
Non-profit partnership · No fees for public water utilities
What your utility gains
Visibility where people look for water
Residents and visitors find your fountains and refill points in the app they already open when they need water. Every refill is a glass of your tap water chosen over a bottle, and one single-use bottle that never has to be made, sold or thrown away.
Proof that your promotion works
Each refill confirmed by NFC is recorded with time and location. Your dashboard shows how much each point is used and how many bottles were prevented, per point and in total. A tap-water campaign stops being a slogan and becomes a measured result you can report and repeat.
An environmental result you can stand behind
Impact is calculated from a life-cycle analysis of a 500 ml PET bottle (ISO 14040/44) and can be verified independently. Every refill of your water is a single-use bottle prevented at the source, the first and most valued step in reducing plastic waste anywhere in the world.
A ready-made way to promote tap water
Getting people to choose tap water over bottled is work that water utilities do every day, through campaigns, open days and public information. The hard part is rarely the message. It is reaching people at the moment they actually decide, and showing afterwards that the effort changed anything.
BottleChallenge gives you both. Your points appear in the app exactly when someone is looking for water, carrying your name instead of a blank pin. And because every refill is counted, you can see, and publish, how many people chose your tap water and how many bottles that prevented.
The message about your water stays yours. We provide the network, the branding on the map and the data behind it, so your promotion reaches further and finally comes with proof.
How a partnership works
Talk to us
One conversation about your points and your goals. A list of your fountains and refill points, even a simple spreadsheet, is all we need to start.
Your points go on the map, branded as yours
We publish your fountains and refill points, deliver NFC tags for dispensers, and mark each one as official infrastructure of your utility.
People take it from there
You get promotion materials for your own channels, and refills start counting. Your dashboard shows usage and bottles prevented, per point and in total.
The people you serve are already adding your points
BottleChallenge users can add public water points themselves, location, photo, confirmation, and earn points for doing it. Every submission passes automatic and community verification before it reaches the global map, and users flag points that stop working, so the picture stays current on its own.
For a utility this means your network of tap-water points is already growing on the map, added by the very people you serve. An official partnership turns that into complete, accurate coverage, with your utility named as the source people can trust.
Turn it into a campaign people join
The Teams module lets neighbourhoods, schools, workplaces or whole districts join with a single code, so their refills count together. You can run a friendly, public competition around drinking tap water, with a live count of refills and bottles prevented.
It is a ready-made engagement campaign for the people you serve, with results you can publish. See how Teams works →
