Drinking water is essential to our survival and health.

However, we
should always be wary of the impurities and waterborne diseases
present in it. When left unchecked, our drinking water could contain
salmonella, cholera, e. coli and the Entamoeba histolytica,

A 2013 study** showed that almost 80% of surveyed water refilling

stations do not comply with Presidential Decree 856, the Code on
Sanitation of the Philippines. The main reason behind this is failure
to present an updated sanitary permit. Furthermore, an objective
written exam was used to assess the workers knowledge on water
sanitation in the context of a water refilling station. Exam results
indicated that the respondents performed poorly on water sampling,
the act of collecting water samples to be submitted to DOHaccredited laboratories and promotion of water sanitation and
safety.

TOILETS & SHOWERS

There are toilets in the campsites and the arena that are cleaned and emptied throughout
the weekend. Please help us by keeping them clean; it will be mutually beneficial. Always
wash your hands after using the toilets.
PLEASE DO NOT use the surrounding woods or bushes, as if you are found doing so, you
may be ejected from V Festival and your wristband will be confiscated.
There are warm showers located outside of the campsites. At peak usage time the water
pressure can be slower. Please be aware that the queues can be long first thing in the
morning.

DRINKING WATER
There are drinking water standpipes in the campsites and the arena, please bring a plastic
container that you can refill. If you are taking the container into the arena it must be no more
than 1 litre in size and be plastic.

You can also purchase water at the catering units throughout the site.
If you need to take in more than 1 litre, due to health problems please alert a Steward who
will contact their supervisor.

RUBBISH & RECYCLING

There are plenty of bins provided, which are emptied during the weekend. Bin bags are
provided in the campsites.
There are recycling areas within the campsites and bags provided, please use these
facilities and help us help the environment. Look out for Every Can Counts where you can
