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.
