PRIMARY schools across Bolton can get free sports bottles from United Utilities to mark World Water Day on Tuesday.

The company is taking part in the giveaway to help encourage local children to drink more tap water.

Schools will be able to log on to www.unitedutilities.com/worldwaterday and apply for bottles.

The website will be "live" from midnight on Monday and bottles will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. The offer is restricted to one application per school.
