Kick the Bottled Water Habit!

Buy Safe, Re-usable Water Bottles customized for your group, organization or city

Isn’t it time we gave up bottled water? It costs on average $10 a gallon and mostly comes from the same sources that tap water comes from. In New York City, our drinking water is hailed as one of the world's best. Some call it the “champagne” of tap waters.  And it’s free! 

At Tap Into the City, our NYC H2O Sports Bottles are made from safe, non-leaching HDPE #2 plastic. There’s been a growing concern that popular polycarbonate plastic bottles, often known by the brand Nalgene, can leach Bisphenol-A, an endocrine-disrupting chemical. NYC H2O Sports Bottles are free from this harmful industrial chemical. What’s more, NYC H2O Sports Bottles are made from 85-100% post-consumer recycled milk jugs.

We can also customize a bottle for your city, company, organization or school – and design a fun logo to help raise awareness of the importance of drinking tap water and kicking the bottled water habit.


Drink NYC H2O Straight from the Tap.

Make the safe choice and buy an NYC H2O Sports Bottle. Take it with you wherever you go. Show it off. Make a statement. Tell your friends you’re kicking the bottled water habit.

Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz says, “It’s a brilliant idea whose time has not only come — but is long overdue!”
