Do Restaurants Have a Responsibility to Provide Filtered Water?

What if a filtered water machine is not only a high-end amenity, but also a line of defense between your customers and contaminated drinking water? A Natura sparkling water system is both.

Our exclusive three-filter system is the ultimate in restaurant water filtration, removing or significantly reducing contaminants including chemical impurities, pesticides, and heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and arsenic. The system reduces chlorine and its compounds, which are responsible for the poor taste and smell associated with tap water. And our smart filtration process does all of this while retaining valuable minerals like calcium, zinc, and magnesium.

A first-of-its-kind study at the University of California, Irvine, reviewed 34 years’ worth of EPA data and determined that, in any given year from 1982 to 2015, up to 45 million Americans were exposed to unsafe drinking water. Even in lower years, the number was still a staggering 9 million people.

The study was extremely thorough, covering 17,900 community water systems in the continental U.S. The findings prove that crises like the one in Flint, Mich., are far from isolated incidents. They also underscore the importance of taking precautions after the tap to provide filtered water, protecting guests from unseen dangers in public water.

OSHA already requires establishments to provide clean, potable water for employees. Doesn’t it make sense to extend this courtesy to guests of your restaurant, bar, club, spa, hotel, or resort? Natura makes it easy, with two long-lasting carbon filters, one of which reduces bacteria such as E. coli, cysts, viruses, and pharmaceuticals.

A Natura sparkling water dispenser is a clear sign that you take your responsibility seriously, and signals to guests that you keep an eye on the details. Water is the lifeblood of any food establishment. Make it the purest it can be with Natura.
