The wonderful water in Crestone is drinkable! However, you are welcome to use the water filter in your cabin to alter the taste. Please note that the top reservoir of the water filter should only be filled with as much water as the bottom reservoir can hold. We encourage retreatants to stay hydrated and healthy but hope you will find ways to save water while washing dishes and caring for your cabin. Your help in conserving water is appreciated, as it is a precious commodity in Southern Colorado.

• Your cabin will have up to 8 water jugs available.
• Yeshe Khorlo will refill the empty 6-gallon jugs and deliver them every two weeks to your cabin on a specific day determined by the caretaker.
• You must bring your empty jugs down to the storage shed for refill.
• Those retreatants on short-term retreat (less than 2 weeks) will not receive a water refill.
• Retreatants will not receive more than their allotted water delivery if they choose to use water for a solar shower at the cabins.
• If you need more than the allotted amount of water, please make special arrangements with the retreat manager to retrieve water from the temple on your own and carry it back to your cabin. There are outdoor spigots on the north and south sides of the temple for refilling water containers.
• At the end of your retreat, please bring all empties to the temple.
• Also, kindly notify the retreat manager if any of the bottles are leaking and set them aside.
