Water bottle refill stations
This was a project undertaken by Saint Margaret's Creation Care Committee
to install water bottle refill stations (with pet drinking fountains attached)
at three locations in local parks and along the Harbor Walk;
the project was in collaboration with/fiscal sponsorship by Friends of Belfast Parks.
Over $20,000 was raised for this project.
Three (3) water bottle refill stations were installed along the Belfast Harborwalk
in the fall of 2024 and are now operational.
A huge thank you to all who contributed to this project!
