“Water Wellness” is a 4 week health action campaign that runs from August 1st thru August 28th, brought to you by Mulzer Crushed Stone. This program is designed to encourage participants (employees & spouses) to increase their water intake and to promote hydration year around.

Keep track of your water intake everyday by measuring how many fluid ounces you consume on the water challenge log sheet. Drinking 64 fluid ounces 5 days per week will qualify you for the prize drawing and you must drink a minimum of 48 fluid ounces a day to successfully complete the program.  Only pure water, 100% fruit juice and zero calorie caffeine free flavored water can be accumulated for the daily total fluid ounces.

Mulzer participants that drink at least 64 fluid ounces 5 days a week will be eligible for the drawing to win one of four $125 gift certificates to Big Splash Adventure Indoor Water Park & Resort in French Lick, Indiana (open year round)!  Shamblin participants that qualify will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win the $125 gift certificate redeemable at any West Virginia State Park!
