Greater Cincinnati Water Works Canned Tap Water

under production

Greater Cincinnati Water Works (GCWW) has started producing a new brand of canned tap water in response to an Ohio EPA ruling requiring water suppliers to provide a gallon of drinking water per person per day if an outage lasts more than 24 hours. The switch to aluminum cans extends the shelf life of emergency supplies to about two years, allowing GCWW to keep between 75 and 100 cases on hand. The cans are filled by a local company called Modern Water and will be offered at smaller community events. GCWW is also exploring selling the canned water to raise funds for assistance and education.
