All water jugs should have lids.
If an individual uses a water jug, make sure it is adequately cleaned and refreshed, usually at least twice daily.
It is best practice to inform the individual if you have refreshed their glass or jug and tell them where you have placed it. Make sure it is placed within easy reach.
People should have access to clean drinking water 24 hours a day.
Some people may only drink fresh water, others may prefer fruit juice or squash. Watch out for sugar levels!
