Water concerns mean business for Londesboro man
na contamination.”
Kipp is a strong believer that con
sumers should look after their own
water supplies.
In spite of municipalities’ use of
chlorine, Kipp said that is not the
best way to go because there are sug
gested long term effects of heavy
chlorination.
Kipp also said of the elements crit
ical to life, water is one area people
can take some control. It is difficult
to be sure of the safety of food or air,
he added.
Kipp’s wife Reka said the
increased interest in water purifica
tion systems also comes from a gen
eral awareness of health issues.
“People are taking more responsibil
ity for their own health.”
For those looking for a home sys
tem, Kipp visits, tests the water and
details needs.
Equipment can vary in price,
depending on requirements. Kipp
stresses that he uses top-quality
items, not necessarily that which
could be bought at a local depart
ment store. His systems also include
installation, filters with which to get
started and a maintenance contract.
Kipp and Steinson are also avail
able to answer questions or respond
to problems whenever they occur.
Steinson reiterates their pledge for
customer service whether in meeting
maintenance needs or outfitting the
home. “One size does not fit all.”

Clean -water alternative
With the increased interest in clean water, Arc Water of Londesboro is expanding. Owner
Damon Kipp, right, welcomes Glen Steinson to the. business.
By Janice Becker

Business is booming.
When the heightened awareness of
water quality issues hit mid-western
Ontario this summer, those in the
business of ensuring safe drinking
water were prepared to meet the
demands by the concerned public.
After 11 years in business, Damon
Kipp believes now is the right time
to expand his Londesboro-area
enterprise ARC Water.
Glen Steinson of Goderich has
become a partner in the business and
will be doing estimates, water test
ing, installations and services calls
as Kipp had done.
After working at a Goderich bank
for some time and as a part-time
bookkeeper for ARC Water, Steinson
said this was the right move for him
and his wife Elaine as they wanted to
stay in Goderich rather than take
another bank transfer.
With Steinson as a partner, Kipp
said the business will be able to
cover more customers, with Steinson
focussing on the Goderich area.
Currently, ARC Water has a cus-
tomer base across much of mid
western Ontario as Kipp prefers to
keep the clients within a reasonable
driving distance. Providing top-qual
ity service is very important, he said,
and that can only be done with a lim
ited drive, one to one and a half
hours.
Kipp said he will go beyond those
limits in some cases or refer the
client to another trusted dealer.
Started in 1989, ARC Water,
which stands for agriculture, resi
dential and commercial, is an inde
pendent company which designs
custom water systems to meet the
client’s need, said Kipp.
With many years of experience in
the business prior to starting ARC,
Kipp has many contacts within the
manufacturing sector so he is able to
purchase the appropriate equipment
from whatever company produces it.
The focus of ARC is point of use
water quality. They deal with provid
ing filtered drinking water to custom
systems for large farm operations.
The type of equipment varies from
ultraviolet, a very popular selection
for the destruction of bacteria, to
reverse osmosis and hydrogen per
oxide systems.
The sale of UV systems has been
better in the last three months than in
the last seven years, said Kipp. “UV
is the only way (to deal with) bacte-
