Natural Grocers Providing Free Filtered Water For Texas Communities Through February 23
LAKEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With historically cold weather and winter storms leaving multiple cities across Texas without water or with boil water orders, Natural Grocers is inviting members of the Texas communities it serves to come in for free water from its stores' reverse osmosis water filtration machines. Free water will be available today through Tuesday, February 23, 2021.
Power outages across Texas have impacted water treatment plants triggering a requirement to boil water before consumption, including eating, drinking, washing hands and faces, and brushing teeth. The ultraviolet sterilization process used in Natural Grocers water dispensers disinfects the water with UV light, designed to provide safe high-quality water that does not need to be boiled before consumption. Additionally, via multiple filtration steps, the reverse osmosis process is intended to filter out suspended particles, chlorine and a wide range of chemicals, salts, lead, impurities, and more.
To fill up on free water from the organic and natural grocery retailer, customers should bring their filled receptacle to the register, along with any items they are purchasing. Customers will need to provide their own jugs and bottles or select stores will have an assortment for purchase. The first five gallons are free of charge, and any additional gallons thereafter are 25 cents each.
