"Living and working in a Yukon mining camp presents a variety of challenges we are constantly trying to find solutions for. Previously we have used a well to fill tanks for non-potable water needs such as showers, toilets, laundry etc, however our potable water had to be hauled in from Dawson City which, when you are hauling a trailer, is a 2 hour trip each way or is a large expense if you are having water hauled in for you. This spring we reached out to the team at Aztec about designing and building a water filtration system that would allow us to supply the camp with safe clean water while also saving us a lot of time and energy. We provided Aztec with the number of people and our water demands and a trailer (an added challenge to Aztec - to build this in a trailer so this system could also be moved around should we move camp) and they built us a huge time saver that we love. The well water we have been using, and what now runs through the filter system, was high in iron and had levels of bacteria and other things that made it definitely unappealingly risky to drink, had a tendency to stain everything a general rust colour, and had some crew members experiencing rashes. Now our water is safe and clean, it tastes great and isn't as harsh on our living quarters or ourselves. We love the RO system they also built into our system for our drinking water however even the general chlorinated and filtered water is great to drink and it is so reassuring to know that we won't run out of safe water and need to scramble to make a 5 hour trip to get water or have to buy 6$ jugs of RO water in town ever again. Any issues we have had (and they have been tiny self-inflicted issues to be sure) Joris and the rest of the team have been so helpful in fixing. We have loved everything about working with Aztec, thank you to you all!"
