National reach matters when you’re trying to change how the world thinks about water — and coverage on Yahoo News is about as broad a platform as it gets. The story: how Altitude Water’s Atmospheric Water Generator technology was put to the test on a Tennessee farm belonging to one of America’s most beloved musicians, and how those results are now being applied in emergency situations across the country.

The farm is Amy Grant’s Hidden Trace Farm, and the results of Altitude Water’s installation there are not just impressive — they’re potentially transformative for how communities think about water security.

A Celebrity Endorsement With Substance

It would be easy to dismiss a celebrity farm installation as a lifestyle feature. It’s anything but. When Altitude Water first began working with Hidden Trace Farm in 2014, the goal was practical: provide reliable, high-quality drinking water for a youth summer camp operating on the property, without the vulnerabilities of municipal water dependence.

What the installation demonstrated over the years that followed was that Altitude Water’s technology could reliably produce clean, safe, excellent-tasting water in a real-world, non-laboratory setting — through seasonal variation, power fluctuations, changing humidity conditions, and the demands of a working property hosting large groups of people.

That kind of real-world proof is harder to achieve and more valuable than any controlled test. And the system kept performing.

The Water Hub Model — and What It Means

The Hidden Trace Farm has since evolved into what Altitude Water describes as a Water Hub: a fully integrated, multi-source water independence system combining AWG technology, rainwater harvesting, aquifer access, and the company’s patented EnviroGuard Ozone purification platform. The farm now produces all of its own drinking water — purified, remineralized, alkaline — with no reliance on municipal water infrastructure of any kind.

This model has implications far beyond Tennessee. It demonstrates that residential and agricultural properties of virtually any scale can achieve water independence using available technology today. For homesteaders, rural communities, agricultural operations, and any property that values resilience and self-sufficiency, the Hidden Trace Farm is a blueprint.

From Blueprint to Disaster Relief

The most immediate downstream impact of the Hidden Trace Farm work has been Altitude Water’s Disaster Relief Trailer — a mobile, solar-powered, Starlink-equipped unit capable of producing 210 gallons of clean water daily while also providing power and internet connectivity to displaced communities.

In 2024, that trailer was deployed in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, serving communities across Florida and North Carolina that had lost access to clean water, power, and communication simultaneously. In those communities, Altitude Water wasn’t just delivering water — it was restoring a basic foundation of normalcy and safety.

Jeff Szur was honored at the 2024 Forbes Best of Africa Award Ceremony for the company’s Water to Africa initiative, and spoke at the Sustainability Summit during UN Climate Week 2024 — recognition that the work being done at farms in Tennessee and disaster zones in North Carolina is part of a global conversation about water security.
