Office of the District Attorney (San Luis Obispo County)

Client

County of San Luis Obispo, Office of the District Attorney (California)

Background

In a fast-paced government office full of attorneys, investigators, and support staff, staying hydrated and sharp is essential. For years they relied on traditional 5-gallon water jugs supplied by Culligan.

The Pain Points

• Bulky jugs and storage crates ate up valuable floor space.
• Plain water got boring fast. They wanted more exciting and wellness-focused hydration options for the employees.

The Fix

In March 2026, Drop Water installed a compact Drop Refill station that plugs right into their existing water line and power—no major work required.

What they get now

• Chilled, sparkling, ambient, and hot water on demand
• Up to 10 customizable flavors (think Mint Mojito, Peach Tea, etc.)
• Functional boosts: Hydration Electrolytes, Caffeine, Cognizin® Citicoline, Vitamin Blend

A quick staff walkthrough made the switch seamless, and the old 5-gallon setup was completely replaced right away.

The Results

• An average of 187 servings of flavors/boosts per day—adoption was fast and enthusiastic.
• Over 80% of drinks include Hydration Electrolytes.
• Zero 5-gallon jugs, zero downtime, zero hassle.
• Filling is roughly 4× faster than the old bubbler.
• A custom screensaver displays office announcements.

What they gained

• Reclaimed space that was previously used for water storage.
• Hydration became something people actually look forward to.
• Better energy, focus, and overall wellness thanks to clean, purposeful additives.
• Noticeably higher convenience and morale in a high-pressure environment.

Looking Ahead

The office is already looking to add another machine. The pilot proved Drop Water solves real problems, cuts waste, boosts engagement, and supports health—all while being practical and scalable for busy public-sector teams like law enforcement and government agencies.

A straightforward win for modernizing hydration in demanding workplaces.
