Sustainable Water Delivery: How you can Help

We care about sustainable water solutions and eco-friendly living, but it’s not always clear what to do. Cities have different rules, and the internet is full of misinformation.

What if it doesn’t have to be so confusing? By making a few adjustments to your home water delivery service and the way you handle packaging, you can simplify the process.

In this article, we will teach you how to implement a sustainable water delivery service. By following these tips, you will contribute to the health of our green city and blue lake.

Eco-friendly water delivery suggestions

• Choose 5-gallon water bottles. An average family of three will save about 4750 single use water bottles per year with this waste free option.
• Only use 5-gallon water bottles for water to keep them contaminant-free for reuse and recycling.
• Leave the caps on 5-gallon water bottles for recycling.
• Recycle one-gallon and 2.5-gallon bottles curbside, including the cardboard box in which they are shipped.
• Recycle 20oz and 16.9oz water bottles with the cap on tightly, and take the shrink wrap packaging to a grocery store with plastic bag recycling bins (available at Heinens, Giant Eagle, Drug Mart, and Target).
• Choose a monthly delivery schedule rather than a bi-weekly water delivery service to reduce fuel consumption.

• Rent a refurbished water cooler instead of buying a new one.
• Use a refillable water bottle instead of disposable ones.
• Opt for paperless billing to reduce paper waste.
• Enroll in our auto bill pay program to simplify your payments and reduce paper waste.
