“We offer superior water
coolers in the warehouse and
online,” says buyer Colin Wes.
“We knew members had the
coolers and were looking to us
for additional savings with a water-
delivery service.”
Drinking water may help maintain
a healthy lifestyle by hydrating
your body.
Our bodies are made up of two-thirds water, so it’s important to
understand water’s role in the
body, the benefits of replenishing
fluids, such as water, and the
problems that may occur when
fluids are not replaced.
Water is linked to most of our
biological functions, such as
regulating body temperature,
carrying nutrients and oxygen to
all cells in the body, and helping
our bodies to excrete waste.
Costco tasked itself with finding
a service that was not only
accessible to homeowners, but
also could accommodate the
quantity a business demands.
It ultimately selected DS Waters®,
the leader in providing quality
water and excellent member
service. Members get access to
fresh bottled water from nine
reputable brands based on
location: Crystal Springs, Hinckley
Springs, Sierra Springs, Belmont
Springs, Deep Rock, Alhambra,
Sparkletts, Kentwood Springs
and Mount Olympus.
To order, schedule delivery and
set up recurring billing, visit
Costco.com and search: Water7.
Just how much water should a
person drink? Numerous studies
have tried to find a definitive
answer, but conclusions are
varied. The proper amount of
water depends on many different
factors, such as the individual’s
general health and activity level.
Without replenishing fluids that
are lost, our bodies could become
moderately dehydrated. Moderate
dehydration occurs when our
bodies do not replenish the fluids
we have lost through normal
day-to-day activities. Moderate
dehydration may cause headaches
and dizziness. One of the best
ways to hydrate our bodies is to
drink fluids. Drinking fluids, such
as water, may help our bodies to
function more efficiently as a part
of an overall healthy lifestyle.
You can schedule water delivery
appointments every two weeks in
most areas, and select from 3 to
50 five-gallon bottles as your
delivered quantity. To order,
schedule delivery and set up
recurring billing, visit Costco.com
and search Water7, or call 1-855-
757-8555. What’s more, plans
start at $15.99 per four-week
billing cycle.
That’s why Costco sought a water-delivery service that would provide
not only pure, fresh-tasting water,
but also the convenience of
frequent deliveries and low costs
to members.
Being able to save money when
ordering quality bottled water for
your home or business was key
when developing the program
for Costco.
From good old-fashioned
pocketbook swiping and Dumpster
diving to “phishing” (email
messages from imposters posing as
legitimate businesses that request
personal information), there are a
multitude of ways your identity can
be stolen.
However, the good news is that
there are also a multitude of ways
you can protect against it: Shred
financial documents and credit card
offers; have checks delivered to
your banking institution; keep
important financial documents,
Social Security card and passports
in a locked safe or vault; and
maintain awareness of your three
credit reports.
The FTC recommends checking all
three credit reports every three
months. Credit-reporting agencies
often monitor different activity, so it
is necessary to check all three.
However, gathering multiple credit
reports on a regular basis can be
costly, so Costco found a provider
that could do all the heavy lifting for
Costco members at a reasonable
cost. Costco Services Manager Ed
Murphy conducted an exhaustive
search of all the options and
services available from various
identity monitoring providers and
ultimately selected IDENTITY
GUARD® — a leading provider of
consumer and corporate risk-management services.
“In terms of offering a package,
ours is the most feature-rich service
on the market today,” he says.
IDENTITY GUARD provides not only
credit score alerts and updates, but
also up to $1 million of insurance
coverage for certain expenses.
“When you become a member of
IDENTITY GUARD Total Protectionsm
and you become a victim of identity
theft while you’re enrolled in this
service, you can be reimbursed up
to $1 million for certain expenses,”
Murphy explains.
IDENTITY GUARD delivers reliable
customer service in addition to a
multitude of cutting-edge features
that help provide peace of mind,
including computer anti-spyware
software, mobile phone secure-record storage, keystroke-logging
password protection and technology that monitors chat rooms
and newsgroups for all your
account numbers.

who are protecting their identity
