Emergency Water Container Sales Open Wednesday, March 22—World Water Day
World Water Day, on March 22 every year, is an international observance and an opportunity to learn more about water-related issues, be inspired to tell others and take action to make a difference.
This year, World Water Day coincides with the kick-off of another round of emergency water container sales for EWEB customers.
On March 22, we will begin accepting pre-orders online. You can order up to four containers per household.
The $5 charge per container will be applied to your water bill, and one dollar of every purchase will support the local Red Cross emergency preparedness and disaster response.
Customers can pick-up their containers during Drinking Water Week (May 7-10). The discounted water containers are made available through partnerships with local water utilities, the city of Eugene and other agencies.
If a natural or man-made disaster occurs, you can rest easier knowing you are better prepared with a household emergency kit. Putting together your own kit is simple and easy, and it begins with having on hand a minimum of one gallon of water per person per day for drinking and basic sanitation.
Last year's supply sold out quickly, so mark your calendars for March 22.
