There are over 150 hand basins and more than 100 taps located around the site to provide fresh water for drinking and washing.
To maintain a sufficient supply of water, the festival Infrastructure Team has constructed two on site, underground reservoirs that are fed by Bristol Water. The reservoirs are both category five and conform to the highest standard for a private water supply. This type of below ground storage allows the water to be stored at a cooler temperature with this being an exceptional improvement on the above ground storage tanks that were used in the past.
Glastonbury Festival has also invested in a permanent underground water main which has improved water pressure and supply to all parts of the site.
All tap water onsite is safe to drink. Regular sampling and testing ensures a safe, clean supply.
New for 2011 there were designated bottle refill points identified on the festival map.
Glastonbury Festival requires more than 11 million litres of water over a period of five days. Please do not waste water.
