The water is located in the Russell Avenue parking lot (across from the IGA), and is available to the public for pick-up.

“In order to ensure that there is enough to go around, the City is asking residents to please only take what they need (1-2 cases depending on the number of people in the household),” says a City release.

Several Enderby Lions Club members will be volunteering their time to deliver cases of water to those who are unable to make it to the pick-up location (i.e. elderly, those with mobility challenges, etc.).

If you or someone you know needs to have a case of water delivered, please contact JP at 250-308-9276 to arrange for delivery.

“On behalf of the City, I would like to extend a big thank you to Nestle for making this generous donation to our community. This water is really going to help out our residents, who have been absolutely amazing throughout this entire process,” says Mayor Greg McCune. “Also a big thank you to the Enderby Lions Club for stepping up to deliver cases of water to those in need, their generosity and community spirit is truly unparalleled.”
