ʻOiai palekana maʻamau, hele lōʻihi ka naʻauao liʻiliʻi:

E nānā ma mua o kou lele ʻana (a i ʻole Sip):

Hōʻailona: Aia kahi hōʻailona "Out of Order" a i ʻole "Water Not Potable"? E hoʻolohe!

Nānā Kiʻi: Maʻemaʻe anei ka ʻōhua? ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka ʻōpala, nā lau, a me nā ʻōpala paha ke kīʻaha? Ke kahe wale nei anei ka wai?

Wahi: E hōʻalo i nā pūnāwai kokoke i nā pōʻino maopopo (e like me ka holo ʻana o ka ʻīlio me ka ʻole o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana, ka ʻōpala nui, a i ʻole ka wai kū ʻole).

ʻO ke kānāwai "Let it Run": Ma mua o ka inu ʻana a i ʻole ka hoʻopiha ʻana i kāu hue, e holo ka wai no 5-10 kekona. Hoʻokuʻu kēia i ka wai i noho ʻole ʻia i loko o ka pā ponoʻī.

ʻO ka Bottle Filler > Direct Sip (Ke hiki ke hiki): ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka spout hoʻopihapiha hoʻopihapiha hoʻolaʻa ʻo ia ka koho maʻemaʻe loa, e hoʻopau ana i ka pili waha me ka mea paʻa. E lawe mau i ka ʻōmole hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia!

E ho'ēmi i ka pilina: E hoʻohana i nā mea ʻike ʻole inā loaʻa. Inā pono ʻoe e kaomi i ke pihi, e hoʻohana i kou puʻupuʻu a kuʻekuʻe paha, ʻaʻole kou manamana lima. Hōʻalo i ka hoʻopā ʻana i ka puʻu ponoʻī.

E hōʻike i nā pilikia: ʻike i kahi pūnāwai haki, lepo, a kānalua paha? E hōʻike i ka mana kuleana (ka moku paka, ke kūlanakauhale, nā hale kula). E kōkua i ka mālama ʻana iā lākou!

Ua ʻike anei ʻoe?

Nui nā polokalamu kaulana e like me Tap (findtapwater.org), Refill (refill.org.uk), a me Google Maps (search “water fountain” a i ʻole “bottle refill station”) hiki ke kōkua iā ʻoe e huli i nā punawai lehulehu ma kahi kokoke!

Nā Manaʻo: Ke koi nei kekahi mau kūlanakauhale / mokuʻāina i nā mea hoʻopiha piha i nā hale aupuni hou a me nā paka.

Nā mea hou: Nā ʻāpana uila, nā mākaʻikaʻi wai i hoʻohui ʻia, a me nā pūnāwai e hoʻohui i nā electrolytes? He mea hoihoi nā mea hiki.

Ka Laina lalo: E hoʻokiʻekiʻe i kahi aniani (a i ʻole ʻōmole) i ka pūnāwai!

ʻOi aku nā puna wai inu lehulehu ma mua o ka metala a me ka wai; he mau hōʻailona ia o ke olakino lehulehu, kaulike, hoʻomau, a me ka mālama kaiāulu. Ma ke koho ʻana e hoʻohana iā lākou (me ka noʻonoʻo!), Ke kākoʻo nei i ko lākou mālama ʻana a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana, a me ka lawe mau ʻana i kahi ʻōmole hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia, kākoʻo mākou i kahi honua olakino a me kahi kaiāulu kūpono.
