Casa del Agua puts purified rainwater into bottles

At a time when blue gold is already a challenge for many countries, the Casa del Agua bar collects, distills, purifies and re-mineralises Mexico rainwater, in front of the client. Served and sold, it retails at 40 dollars for a 600mL bottle.

Essential and more and more rare, water is already at the heart of challenges in numerous countries. Whilst the north of Mexico is facing acid contamination of rivers, leaving thousands of people without drinking water, the capital holds a rather unusual concept.

The Casa del Agua bar has the specificity of selling local water, in the heart of Mexico, that was considered only recently to be the most polluted city worldwide. With a green roof, the company collects city rainwater and cleans it with a "process of triple filtration, evaporation and condensation that leaves it 100% pure", according to the company website. Having lost most of its components, the water is then re-mineralised and ionised to give back its "hydrating and antioxidant" properties. 

In front of the clients

Plain or flavoured, the water is partly distilled and flavoured in the centre of the bar, in front of the customers. Whilst it is possible to take a glass of water infused "Indian style", "seventh heaven" or with jasmine, Casa del Agua rainwater is also bottled. The glass bottle in the form of the bar is sold 40 dollars for 600 millilitres (around 25 pounds). Closed with a ceramic capsule, the bottle can be returned or refilled for almost 8 euros.
