The gourd friendly attitude

Granville Terre et Mer, the start-up Hoali and the Syndicat de Mutualisation de l’eau potable du Granvillais et de l’Avranchin (SMPGA) have joined forces to make it easier for residents and visitors to find refill points for their water bottles. 9 communes are involved: Coudeville-sur-Mer, Longueville, Donville-les-Bains, Granville, Yquelon, Saint-Pair-sur-Mer, Carolles, Jullouville, Saint-Aubin-des-Préaux, Saint-Sauveur-La-Pommeraye.

Refilling your water bottle just got easier

In Granville Terre et Mer, we refill your water bottle at water supply points. Public water fountains, bars, restaurants, hotels, shops, artists… they’re all committed to reducing plastic bottle consumption by opening their doors to you. To identify them, a round blue and white sticker is displayed on the front of the establishments concerned.

Water, a precious resource

The Thar (Granvillais river) and the Braize (Avranchin river) are the two main watercourses from which drinking water is produced in Granville Terre et Mer. Both are protected watercourses. Their quality depends on weather conditions and the regularity of rainfall. Protecting water resources is everyone’s business: #lechronopourpreserverleau. More info on the SMPGA website here.
