SLAUGHTER BEACH, Del. — A new water refill station has been installed at the Slaughter Beach pavilion as part of the town’s efforts to cut back on plastic pollution.
“Plastic bottles are some of the most common types of debris found on our beach, and we hope this will cut down on the waste,” said Vice Mayor Bob Wood.
The project was funded through the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean has partnered with Slaughter Beach and other waterfront communities to provide drinking water refill stations in recreational areas.
Town officials said they encourage beachgoers to bring reusable bottles and help support a cleaner shoreline.
