Water is essential to life and we all need a regular supply. Sadly, the waterways access to points aren't quite as regular as we need them to be sometimes. It is essential therefore that we consider others when we are using water points.

Only moor at the water point for the minimum length of time possible.

Try to moor in such a way that makes the best use of the available space and allows other boats to tie up. Even if they can't reach the tap, at least they will be able to wait for you to finish. This is especially useful if it is windy.

Be aware as you approach the water point that there might be a queue of boats waiting to use it. If your boat is in the queue then stand by the side of your boat so you can inform others and avoid embarrassment or conflict.
