Prepared at School

Our children are at school for the majority of their waking day. We are committed to providing all schools with water for their Emergency supply kits. These kits are essential for schools to maintain and update for the safety of their staff and students. We provide regular reminders to local schools to update their emergency supply kits so that yours and our children are protected.

Prepared at Home

Home is the foundation and point of security for all of us. In the event of extreme weather conditions it is very common that we are instructed to stay in our homes. That is why it is so important to equip your home with emergency supplies, the most important being water. It is recommended by the CVRD that 35L be kept available per person at all times. This is 2 - 18.9L bottles per person which can be conveniently kept in a nearby storage area, or as we recommend, to be cycled through with your water cooler to ensure the bottles are always fresh.

Prepared at Work

It is the responsibility for employers and staff to ensure a safe working environment for themselves and those around them. As extreme weather doesn't just affect the home, it is important for all businesses to have emergency supplies adequate for all of their staff. In the event of an emergency, fresh clean water is critical for any business to operate. Contact us today for special business rates.
