Mobile Water Station

Provide quality water at your next event! DSM H2GO is a mobile water filling station, operated by Des Moines Water Works. Des Moines Water Works has different models of the water station that can fit your needs for your next community event. 

How does the DSM H2GO station work?
The water station can be hooked directly to a hose bib or public fire hydrant throughout the Des Moines Water Works service area. Des Moines Water Works will determine whether or not your site has the appropriate connection for the water station. Water quality is Des Moines Water Works’ top priority. The water that flows from DSM H2GO is the same water that flows from your kitchen tap.

What is the cost to use a DSM H2GO station?
Des Moines Water Works is happy to provide DSM H2GO stations free of charge to approved applicants. DSM H2GO stations and any accompany staff are provided courtesy of Des Moines Water Works. Des Moines Water Works will provide weekday set-up/take-down of DSM H2GO stations. Weekend set-up/take-down will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and may incur some minimal charges. By submitting this request, the applicant assumes all responsibility for damages. The applicant will be billed for any intentional or non-intentional damage to water stations.

Who is permitted to use DSM H2GO stations?
DSM H2GO stations are reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. The stations are intended to be used for potable water by visitors and vendors at outdoor, public events with over 100 estimated attendees, within Des Moines Water Works service area. 

How do I reserve a DSM H2GO station?
Fill out a DSM H2GO application. Please submit your application at least two weeks prior to your requested event. You will be notified within two weeks of the receipt of the application if your event has been approved. 

What do I need to provide while a DSM H2GO station is at my event?
  • An applicant must provide any desired water vessel, such as cups, refillable water bottles, etc.
