LifeStraw Could Be the Answer as Drought Leads to Thefts

The theft of a water tanker from Oakland may be connected to the California water drought. Water4Patriots recommends that people learn how to purify water of contaminants or stock up on personal water filters.

Nashville, Tenn., United States – May 28, 2015 /MarketersMedia/ —

According to a recent article in the San Jose Mercury News, a 500-gallon water tanker has been stolen from a landscaping site in the hills of Oakland. The Marksman tanker-trailer was half-full of water when stolen and is said to be valued at between $4,500 and $4,900. It was being used for compacting dirt, rinsing off tools and other purposes.

Law enforcement officials do not yet know if the theft was connected to California’s severe water shortage. In Oakland, the fine for stealing water from the East Bay Municipal Utility District is $1,000 for the first offense and $2,000 for the second, beginning May 29.

As the lack of clean drinking water continues to worsen in the West and Southwest, water thefts are bound to continue. Water4Patriots officials believe that people in drought-stricken areas should learn ways to make contaminated water clean enough to drink. They have provided an inexpensive way for individuals to do that through the LifeStraw personal water filter.

It’s the world’s most advanced water filter, removing 99.999 percent of waterborne bacteria and parasites, and providing the user with crystal-clear, life-giving water when no clean drinking water is available.

Lightweight LifeStraw Needs No Batteries

This compact device, which can be carried anywhere, weighs only two ounces. It contains no chemicals and no moving parts, and requires no electricity or batteries. Pores within tubes inside the straw allow water to pass but prevent contaminants larger than 0.2 microns from flowing through. The LifeStraw filters up to 1,000 liters of contaminated water without iodine, chlorine or other chemicals.

First introduced in 2005, the LifeStraw was field tested by approximately 4.5 million people and used around the world under extreme conditions for humanitarian relief. Now available in the U.S., it has met EPA standards for water filtration and was a Time magazine invention of the year winner.

“In addition to providing clean drinking water no matter where one is, the LifeStraw gives peace of mind,” said Baler, Partner at 4Patriots, which provides products that help people become more self-reliant and independent. “When a crisis occurs, people will have clean drinking water, even if all the surrounding water is contaminated. With the LifeStraw, people can be prepared no matter what happens.”

Patriot Headquarters publishes articles, videos and news to help people become more self-reliant and independent from government and big business.
