San Antonio, Water Notice
Challenge
Just months after the COVID-19 pandemic, a household of two in San Antonio experienced a boil water notice due to a sudden municipal water system issue. This disruption left them without immediate access to safe drinking water and highlighted vulnerabilities they hadn’t previously considered. The event served as a wake-up call, underscoring the need for long-term preparedness.
The household sought a solution that would not only address future water security but also ensure they had essential resources in case of other unforeseen events. They wanted a solution tailored to their specific needs while maintaining the convenience and quality they were accustomed to.
Solution
Private Provision developed a customized plan to ensure the household’s preparedness for water emergencies and other potential disruptions. Our approach included:
Three-Month Gourmet Food Supply: Partnered with a private chef to curate and freeze-dry high-quality meals, ensuring the household could maintain their lifestyle even in an emergency.
Onsite Water Reserves: Provided ample water storage, designed to last through extended outages.
Personal Water Filters: Delivered portable filtration systems for immediate use during emergencies.
Advanced Water Filtration: Installed a high-capacity filtration system for their home, ensuring access to clean water year-round.
Water Testing Supplies: Equipped the household with testing kits to monitor water quality after future incidents, empowering them to make informed decisions about their water usage.
The comprehensive plan ensured that both immediate and long-term needs were addressed with an emphasis on quality and reliability.
Outcome
The household gained peace of mind knowing they were prepared for any water-related emergency. The personalized food supply provided a sense of normalcy and comfort, even in uncertain times, while the water solutions guaranteed their independence during future boil notices or disruptions.
One member of the household shared:
"We didn’t realize how vulnerable we were until the water outage hit. I never want to be the extreme prepper guy but this was my actual real life - not an imaginary scenario of the world ending. I’m glad we won’t ever have to experience that again.”
Beyond their immediate concerns, the couple appreciated how the tools and resources provided by Private Provision allowed them to take proactive steps toward self-sufficiency, giving them a greater sense of control in an unpredictable world.
