Those guys design & build everything from scratch, with unique Alaska needs in mind. For one, the material they use “has a high impact resistance, so if you run into it with something or hit it with a log or four-wheler, it won't break and shatter,” Jerry Fleahman said. 🪵 🛻

Went on a tour to Lifewater Engineering and saw first-hand the strength of the materials they use! 🔨 The company provides sanitation options — washeterias, water filters, toilets — for people and whole communities ​​in rural Alaska not connected to a water and sewer systems.
