Saba Splash Celebrates Inaugural World Water Day with Three-Day Event

Saba Splash, the producer of quality drinking water and for sustainable water usage and conservation on the island of Saba, proudly announces the successful completion of its inaugural World Water Day celebration, held from March 20th to 22nd, 2024.

World Water Day, observed annually on March 22nd, serves as a global reminder of the importance of preserving and responsibly managing our planet's most vital resource: water. This year, Saba Splash took the initiative to mark the occasion with a series of engaging activities spanning three days.

The festivities kicked off on "Water Wednesday" with interactive water booths located in the villages of Windwardside and the Bottom. Visitors had the opportunity to learn about the significance of drinking Saba Splash water, as well as the benefits of utilizing reusable bottles to reduce plastic waste in our landfills. Giveaways were also provided to the community in the form or T-shirt’s, bottles, infused water and free Saba Splash. 

Continuing the celebration, Saba Splash opened the doors of its water plant to the community on the following day. Visitors were given exclusive access to observe firsthand the processes involved in producing quality drinking water. 

The culminating event of the celebration took place on the final day, with Saba Splash organizing a solidarity sunset hike. Participants embarked on a journey in solidarity with individuals in developing nations who must travel long distances to access fresh water sources. This symbolic gesture shed light on the global water crisis and underscored the importance of equitable access to clean water for all. 

When asked about the significance of World Water Day, Commissioner Zagers emphasized the importance of Saba Splash's efforts, stating, "Saba Splash urges Sabans to recognize the ease of access to our water sources and the responsibility we hold in preserving them for future generations."

Saba Splash extends its heartfelt gratitude to all participants, sponsors, and volunteers like Fit with Lee and Event 66 who contributed to the success of the World Water Day celebrations. Together, we reaffirm our commitment to safeguarding this precious resource and promoting sustainable water practices within our community.
