The City of Greeley has opened its first Bulk Water Station at 535 1st Ave., which allows construction contractors and oil and gas companies to collect necessary water faster at one central point rather than tap from slower water hydrants across the city for their fracking or dust-control needs.
This is an easier, less-cumbersome method of purchasing and collecting your bulk water. It allows you to collect your water in half the time. This method also allows for a greater method of data collection and accountability.
Contractors can purchase water at the station with a credit card, or by creating an online account.
The Bulk Water Station has many advantages for companies:
- It eliminates the need to rent a water meter through the city.
- It disperses water much faster with much less waste than hydrants.
- It allows for greater accountability of water purchasing and use within company structures.
