Here's a link to a story of how the local council of Bondi Beach is attempting to counter the waste of bottled water with the ecological sense of fountains:
From the Council’s perspective the project helps them demonstrate their commitment to helping the environment. “From the point of production to their ultimate disposal, water bottles have a significantly negative impact on our environment. The production, transportation, refrigeration and disposal of water bottles is a massive waste of our natural resources and leads to excessive greenhouse gas emissions; not to mention the obvious pollution they create in our local environment,” said the Mayor. And he has written to all his fellow mayor around the country encouraging them to follow in Manly’s lead.
There are further links in the story to a campaign that's been making a real difference in Australia.
Ripper/Bonzer, or whatever they say in Oz.
