Drinking Water Week is about honoring the professionals who make safe water possible. At FreshPure®, that mission lives in our Team—the real people behind every drop of your fresh, pure water.
This week, the American Water Works Association invites us to pause and appreciate something most of us take for granted: the clean drinking water we get to enjoy, and the thousands of professionals who make that possible.
At FreshPure®, we wanted to take that a step further and introduce you to some of the people who make your refill experience possible.
The Installation Team
Have you ever wondered how the FreshPure® system magically appears in the water aisle of your favorite grocery store? Our amazing Installation Team assesses the store, works with plumbing, designs a system that fits the store perfectly, arranges any necessary tests, works with local regulatory agencies, and so much more. We are not kidding when we say they pull off miracles every day. Leading installations is Mike Zayas, Project Manager for Installations. When asked why he does what he does, he shared this:
“Everyone deserves access to premium drinking water—affordable and available—regardless of economic or social circumstances.”
— Mike Zayas, Project Manager / Installs
Always quick with a joke, Mike’s leadership is a balance of precision and levity. Spot him up front in the blue sweatshirt.
The Field Technicians
They’re the friendly faces you might spot on a refill run keeping our machines clean. Testing water quality. Troubleshooting. Making sure every drop meets the standard that keeps customers like you coming back for 35 years.
Leading them is Carolyn Starks, Field Manager:
“We have an amazing team, and I’m proud of the work we do to keep everything clean, running right, and something customers can trust every time they refill.”
— Carolyn Starks, Field Manager
Why This Matters
You don’t see them often. But you taste their work every time you refill.
And every refill they enable? That’s up to 35 fewer single-use bottles in a landfill. One less piece of plastic in the waste stream. One small choice that adds up to the 2 billion+ bottles FreshPure® has helped keep out of circulation since 1991.
So this Drinking Water Week, here’s to the people behind the pure. The ones working before dawn, driving across counties, and making sure your next refill is as clean as the last.
That’s a wrap, Drinking Water Week. Stay hydrated. 💧
