Westside Water Store Weekly Update + Sound Healing & Reiki Event this Saturday
Hello Everyone,
We’ve got some exciting updates to share this week from your neighborhood water store on Mission Street!
First, progress is moving forward behind the scenes as we get closer to installing our in-store water stations. We’re currently finalizing details with the city and expect to have a clearer timeline very soon. We appreciate your patience, as we both know good things are on the way, and we can’t wait to bring the new water filing options to you.
As I mentioned last week, we’re so excited to host a special Sound Healing + Reiki session right here in the store on Saturday, April 11 at 7:00 PM. This will be a relaxing and restorative experience, and it’s just one example of the kinds of wellness-focused offerings we’re planning to bring into the space. We’d love to see you there! Come enjoy one of the great dinner options our neighbors at the Palm Center offer and stop by afterwards.
As the weather warms and spring settles in, it’s the perfect time to stay on top of your hydration. Whether you’re soaking up the sun, getting active outdoors, or heading to the beach, the mountains, or anywhere in between—everything feels better when you’re well hydrated.
We’re here to support your health with clean, high-quality water. Stop by and fill your bottles with fresh, mineral-rich water before enjoying all that Santa Cruz County and beyond has to offer.
It was an interesting week on the national water front—if you missed it:
On April 2, 2026, Lee Zeldin announced that the Environmental Protection Agency is officially designating microplastics and pharmaceuticals as contaminants in drinking water, identifying them as a top priority for American families.
“I can’t think of an issue that hits closer to home for American families than the safety of their drinking water,” Zeldin said at EPA Headquarters. ~ amazing
As these concerns gain recognition at the national level, it’s a good reminder that solutions exist today. The whole-home filtration systems we offer at the store are designed to help reduce a wide range of emerging contaminants—so you can feel more confident in the water throughout your home.
Thanks for being part of our journey- you, me and the water makes three, we are just getting started!
Stay refreshed,
Warmly,
Viki
