Bottled Water

Habitat For Humanity and LifeSource Team Up

Habitat for Humanity not only provides affordable housing options, but now it is working to eliminate water softeners and bottled water waste by providing LifeSource Water filtration systems on their construction site.  Habitat’s seventh project in Glendale, CA breaks ground on Saturday, March 5, 2011.  The San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity affordable-home-ownership project at 624-630 Geneva Street will feature five three-bedroom town homes and a community garden.

Project manager Paul McAnnally-Linz contacted LifeSource Whole House Water Systems for an alternative to supplying numerous cases of bottled water to its volunteers.  According to Paul, “Habitiat is not only saving money by eliminating bottled  water on our construction site, but we are saving the planet by not creating waste from empty bottles.  We are encouraging all our volunteers to bring a reusable water bottle which can be filled from the carbon filtration unit that LifeSource hooked to our hose bib.  Now we'll have great drinking water without any waste or cost and every penny counts when you are working with limited funds.  We wanted all our money to go directly to the building.”

To qualify for ownership of a Habitat residence, applicants must  meet income requirements and must be willing to contribute 500 hours of labor, called "sweat equity," during the project's construction. Chosen families will also have to complete home-ownership classes.  Applicants must make at least $33,000 per year and demonstrate an ability to pay a monthly mortgage of about $1,100 per month, which includes property tax and homeowner's insurance costs.

"We know how hard it is to buy a home," said Janelle Williams, co-chairwoman of Habitat's family selection committee. "And we can help."  Williams said the "sweat equity" component is especially important because it shows residents' willingness to partner with Habitat volunteers.  "Partnering is how you will qualify on site to own your home," she said. 

LifeSource Water is proud to be a part of Habitat for Humanity’s Glendale project and is looking forward to partnering with them on upcoming projects.  In addition to providing a water filtration station, LifeSource is donating $200 to The San Gabriel Valley chapter of Habitat for every system sold as a result of the Habitat exposure.  According to owner, Cherie Harris, “This is a win-win situation for everyone, and that is what LifeSource Water is all about.”
