This website is dedicated to providing our customers with information regarding Chipeta’s purpose and function. Please let us know what you think and if you have any questions or concerns.

To see a detailed breakdown of what’s in the water go to the Project 7 Water Authority webpage.

The amount of water is constant and recycled throughout time; actually, it is possible to drink water that was part of the dinosaur era.

Though water is one of the natural resources found on Earth, by the time it comes into your home, you have to pay for it. An average U.S. family of four pays $73 for water in a month, based on each person using the national average of 100 gallons per day. 

This number goes up or down depending on usage, with families that use 50% more water than average spending about $115 a month and families that use 50% less water than average spending about $37 a month. 

  • By comparison, it costs:
  • Over $3.25 per gallon of milk,
  • Over $3.00 for one gallon of gasoline, (depending on where you buy it!)
  • Approximately $10.23 per gallon of Coors,
  • Approximately $31 per gallon of Red Bull energy drink, and
  • Over $25,000 per gallon of Chanel No. 5 perfume…

While usage varies from community to community and person to person, on average, 

The average family turns on the tap between 70 and 100 times daily.
