How far is it from Mission Valley?
The easiest way is Friars Rd east. It runs the length of Mission Valley, past Snapdragon Stadium, and ends at Mission Gorge Rd. Turn left and we're in the Village Square center near Zion Ave.
From the west end, near Fashion Valley or Hazard Center, I-8 east is quicker in traffic. Take the Fairmount Ave / Mission Gorge Rd exit and head north on Mission Gorge Rd.
Neighborhoods we see customers from
We regularly fill jugs for people from Fashion Valley, Hazard Center, Rio Vista, Civita, Mission Valley East and SDSU Mission Valley.
Mission Valley is mostly apartments and condos, and hauling cases of bottled water up to a third-floor unit gets old fast. A lot of our Mission Valley customers switched to two or three 5 gallon water bottles on a dispenser. They fill them once a week on the way home on Friars Rd.
Five gallons of water, three ways
