2024: What a Year – Thanks to You!
As we reflect on 2024, we are filled with gratitude for your continued support. Thanks to you, this year has been nothing short of incredible!
We began the year humbly, serving just four customers in January. By December, we were proud to serve 323 returning customers and 147 one-time customers—a testament to the power of word-of-mouth and the amazing community that surrounds us.
Giving back has always been part of our mission. This year, we donated:
15 gallons to the Last Man Standing Race
50 gallons to the Bremerton Marathon
90 gallons to the Dirty Turtle Race
59 gallons to the Lumberjack Race
35 gallons to Whaling Days in Silverdale
We were also proud to sponsor local marathon runner Jerry England, who went on to win the Last Man Standing Race—running an incredible 150 miles over 44 straight hours, fueled by our Alkaline water. His endurance and determination were a true inspiration.
In addition, we expanded our inventory to include glass bottles and smaller-sized bottles to better meet your needs. And along the way, we were honored to earn four 5-star reviews—each one a reminder of why we do what we do.
This year also brought attention to the growing concern in Port Ludlow, where the local water supply has become unsafe. The city has discovered asbestos in their water lines, and arsenic levels are so high that wells are being combined in an effort to bring levels below the EPA’s legal limit. We’ve already welcomed a dozen or so Port Ludlow residents to our store for clean, healthy water—but many others simply can’t make the trip.
To help, we’re working on a solution: a mobile water trailer, equipped with a tank and dispensing unit—just like the one at our store—that we can park in the community. When the tank runs low, we’ll tow it back to refill at our store and return it, ensuring a continuous supply of safe drinking water.
While business is improving, we’re still not operating at a profit, so we’re turning to our community for help. If you’d like to support this effort, please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign:

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for an unforgettable year. We’re excited for what’s to come in 2025!
