We've just received photos of a HOG installed at Edna Maguire Elementary School in Mill Valley, set within their emergency stores container as part of their disaster readiness program.
We calculated that the HOG represents 400x 16oz water bottles for emergency use - which means over the next 10 years Edna Maguire does NOT have to replace and dispose of the 8,000 single use plastic bottles they would otherwise be using.
This is a really exciting use of HOG and one that we will be promoting throughout the Bay Area now that California has been told to expect a Mother of all Storms in addition to the Mother of all Quakes. Turns out the other comparable emergency water sources are either pallets of single-use water bottles that need replacing every 6 months or - wait for it - barrels that ROLL!
