New Yorkers have a new service in town and it’s aimed squarely at residents who want to take advantage of the city’s clean tap water.

Well whether the tap water in NYC is clean is up for debate, but let’s leave that aside for now, as that’s not quite the point. TapIt is a new service that has launched in New York City that offers up free tap water refills at over 100 locations in participating city cafes.

Sure you could fill up at home, but TapIt is about providing a convenience. When you’re on the go and you have your handy dandy refillable reusable water bottle and need a refill, instead of trekking back home or buying something new, you can locate a TapIt cafe and refill for free.

How do you find a TapIt location? Easy! You can use your iPhone to locate a participating cafe or use your web-enabled cell to check the TapIt website.

This should also provide a boon to local businesses as no doubt additional customers will visit. Even if initially someone walks in for water, one never knows what other goodies they will snatch up.

UPDATE: The service may have already rolled out to Florida as I see the city listed in the drop down search box. Will keep you posted.
