Purified water (agua pura) is essential in Guatemala since tap water is not safe to drink in most areas. The standard purchase is a garrafon (5-gallon jug), delivered to homes by trucks or purchased at stores. Salvavidas and Scandia are the leading brands. Water delivery services are widespread in urban areas. Many households spend Q48-96 per month on drinking water alone.
