As Climate Week NYC Begins, FloWater CEO Says America’s Climate Resilience Conversation Must Include Drinking Water
“If a parent still has to wonder whether the water coming out of their child’s school fountain is safe to drink, we have work to do.”
“If a parent still has to wonder whether the water coming out of their child’s school fountain is safe to drink, we have work to do.”
"For years, Americans have prepared for the next storm, the next outage, the next disruption," underscores Flowater CEO Rich Razgaitis. "It's time we did the same for water. A system that isn't safe and a system you can't count on are both the same kind of failure—we just don't talk about them that way yet."
"We want to fundamentally change the way people think about drinking water and ultimately make trusted, great-tasting water accessible to everyone,” said Rich “Raz” Razgaitis, CEO and Co-Founder of FloWater.
FloWater Refill stations have helped eliminate more than 1.5 billion single-use plastic bottles, proving that premium drinking water and sustainability can go hand in hand. Imagine the impact if every major stadium and arena across North America embraced that same approach.
“Drinking water is one of the most frequent touchpoints employees have with that environment, and expectations around quality and experience are rising"
As schools prepare for warmer months and back-to-school planning, ensuring students have convenient access to safe, great-tasting drinking water may be one of the simplest and most effective ways to support their health, wellbeing and academic success.
“The question is how quickly we move to protect public health and strengthen confidence in drinking water systems for future generations,” says FloWater CEO and co-founder Rich Razgaitis.
