Tomorrow is #WorldWaterDay 💙 Let’s take you straight to the source with our Well Supervisor, Dustin who keeps the water flowing.

After seeping through thousands of feet of porous volcanic rock, our water re-emerges at the surface as refreshingly crisp, naturally alkaline water. Located just outside the quiet town of Hilo which is surrounded by rich, bio-diverse forest preserves, a deep well source sits at the eastern base of the Mauna Loa volcano, one of the purest environments on Earth. This secluded well taps into the Kea’au aquifer, which captures over 200 inches of pure water each year, converting into a daily sustainable yield of 393 million gallons per day. However, we only bottle less than 0.005% of this as part of our mission to be Healthy, Sustainable, and Ethical. See the link for more info! https://waiakea.com/pages/waiakea-water-source
