The Fostoria WaterShed on Plaza Drive is moving. More Information HERE!
Our WaterShed locations are walk-up buildings owned by the Northwestern Water and Sewer District. They use a 9-step water purification process to provide great-tasting clean drinking water at a low price: $.25 per gallon or $1.25 for 5 gallons.
The District saw a need in the rural communities for purified drinking water filling stations for people using well systems. Since then, their popularity has grown, and so have our number of locations.
The 9 Step Process
Ion exchange water softening
1 micron filtration
Granular activated carbon filtration
5 micron pre-filter
Reverse osmosis
Ultra violet sterilization
Sub-micron filtration
Solid block carbon filtration
Final ultra violet sterilization
How Much Is It?
Anyone can use The WaterShed! The WaterShed dispenses drinking water in 1 and 5 gallon quantities (you provide the container) for $.25 a gallon.
How to Sanitize Your Water Container
Use household liquid bleach that does not have an added scent (like lemon).
Add 1 teaspoon (64 drops or 5 milliliters) of household liquid bleach to 1 quart
(32oz, 4 cups, or about 1 liter) of water.
Pour this into a clean storage container and shake well, making sure that the solution coats the entire inside of the container.
Let sit at least 30 seconds, and then pour out solution.
Let air dry or rinse with clean water that has already been made safe, if available.
