Our Alternative Water Team have taken a leaf out of Benjamin Franklin's book, who once said: "By failing to prepare, you're preparing to fail." Here they are setting up a practice water bottle station, so colleagues from the Alternative Water Team know what they're doing should the worst happen and a station is needed to hand out water to our customers in an emergency. It also helps us to help you understand how to best access this emergency service, should it ever be needed. #water #emergencypreparedness
