Bluewater helps Cape Town Save Precious Water During Volvo Ocean Race

Bluewater stepped in to help Volvo Ocean Race save precious drinking water during its visit in December 2017 to the drought-struck South African city. Bluewater water stations turned water considered unsafe to drink into safe, on-demand drinking water, helping visitors to the Race Village avoid using single-use plastic water bottles, most of which end up polluting ocean environments.
