The Water Wagon: H_2O on the go

摘要

Since its inception in 2007, the Water Wagon program at Niagara Region, Ontario, has grown significantly. This 2,400-L (634-gal) portable water hauler provides clean, cold tap water at local nonprofit and charitable events. Best of all, this service is free. The Water Wagon is unique and simple in design. Comparable units often require electricity and a direct connection to a municipal water supply. The Water Wagon requires neither. Two 1,200-L totes are filled at the water treatment plant before traveling to an event and water is kept at a refreshing temperature in an ice chest. This allows the Water Wagon to be placed anywhere at an event and benefits event organizers, who are often constrained in terms of space and accessibility.
