LET THE STORY FLOW
When visiting our County, look for recognizable signs "Guardian of the Small Giants Water". These stand for Refill stations of drinking water and have been posted in visible positions at the entrance to restaurants, cafes, or bars that have united in the refill network. Here, you will be served free drinking water, while at the bar you will be able to refill your reusable water bottles. This network ensures that in our County you never go thirsty.
