LAKEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With historically
cold weather and winter storms leaving multiple cities across
Louisiana without water or with
boil water orders, Natural Grocers is inviting members of its
Lafayette, LA community to come in
for free water from its store's reverse osmosis water filtration
machine. Free water will be available today through Tuesday, February 23, 2021.
Lafayette's water supply system
has been impacted by adverse weather, triggering a requirement to
boil water before consumption, including eating, drinking, washing
hands and faces, and brushing teeth. The ultraviolet sterilization
process used in Natural Grocers water dispensers disinfects the
water with UV light, designed to provide safe high-quality water
that does not need to be boiled before consumption. Additionally,
via multiple filtration steps, the reverse osmosis process is
intended to filter out suspended particles, chlorine and a wide
range of chemicals, salts, lead, impurities, and more.
Due to capacity limitations of the store's water filtration
system, which can only pump 75 gallons of water every other hour,
each person is limited to two free gallons of water. To fill up on
free water from the organic and natural grocery retailer, customers
should bring their filled receptacle to the register, along with
any items they are purchasing. Customers will need to provide their
own jugs and bottles.
Natural Grocers' Lafayette, LA
store is located at 1925 Kaliste Saloom Road. Additional store
details can be found here.
