Never be short of water—even when there is no emergency!

The earthquake damage in Haiti has been so devastating; it may take years—even decades–before the country is back on its feet.

Such disasters are a vivid reminder of how fragile life can be with no food or water. Survival experts call it ‘The Rule of Threes’: stay alive for 3 weeks without food– but only 3 days with no water.

For this reason, we have launched a water preparedness initiative for our Bear Mountain community that will:
• guarantee safe, clean drinking water for your family
• and support Haiti at the same time!

It’s always possible, of course, that a catastrophic earthquake may never hit the west coast of Vancouver Island in our lifetime; we may never experience dehydration or the debilitating or fatal illnesses caused by a contaminated water supply.

But how about a little peace of mind right now?
Isn’t it time to guarantee that all the drinking water in your home is always as safe and as clean as it can be–even if no emergency ever comes.

Be ready for life—whatever happens!
