East Slope Water E Coli Contamination

As part of our care we monitor a wide array of local social media groups to be aware and informed of any situations that may arise that may require our intervention while our clients are away.

Today this involved E Coli contamination of the East Slope water company. Notices were being distributed door to door and social media distributed the news very quickly. Here is what we did during this emergency:

1. We made a call to this water company to find out which neighborhoods were affected. 
2. We contacted our clients who are out of town to notify them. 
3. We implemented a water emergency plan which includes bringing water from an uncontaminated source to any affected client.

You can rest assured that we will be proactive during any emergency. 

Other situations we've managed include:

• The deep freeze in 2011. Water pipes froze all over the city. Gas lines were shut off. We brought water to affected pets and made sure everyone stayed warm and hydrated. We took precautions against pipes leaking when the big thaw came a few days later by shutting off water supply to affected homes. We continued to bring water to those pets until the clients returned.
• The Montezuma Fire of 2011. Holy Evacuation! That was an intense period as we evacuated ourselves and our client's pets.
