Drinking Water in Crestone

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. but your help in conserving water is appreciated, as it is a precious commodity.

  • Your cabin will have up to 9 water jugs available.
  • The caretaker will refill the empty jugs and deliver the 6-gallon jugs of water every two weeks to your cabin.
  • 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. If you need more than the allotted amount of water, please make special arrangements with the retreat manager to retrieve water from the temple yourself.
  • There are outdoor spigots on the north and south sides of the temple from where you can refill the 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.
