This week’s featured responsible business is Celestial Spring Water, a new company providing a local source of clean drinking water. The water comes from Valle de la Estrella near Penshurt. The eco-friendly, local water company has all the testing done to make sure the water is pure and safe, and has all its permits. It delivers containers of water to homes and business along our coast three days a week at prices similar to or lower than those of the big water companies. It can also deliver water to fill big tanks. For information, contact Saskia (English, Spanish, German) at 8897-2501 or saskiawolff@hotmail.com, or Terry (English, Spanglish) at 8639-0048.
