How far is it from La Mesa?
From La Mesa Village or Grossmont Center, take I-8 west to the Fairmount Ave / Mission Gorge Rd exit and head north. It's a few minutes up Mission Gorge Rd to Zion Ave.
From northwest La Mesa and the Lake Murray side, skip the freeway: take Lake Murray Blvd north to Navajo Rd, then Waring Rd down to Mission Gorge Rd.
Neighborhoods we see customers from
We regularly fill jugs for people from La Mesa Village, Grossmont, Lake Murray, Northwest La Mesa, Rolando and Mount Helix.
La Mesa customers tell us they like glass. We have glass jugs on the shelf and at the refill station, and a lot of La Mesa regulars fill 3 and 5 gallon glass bottles with alkaline water for the kitchen.
