Water Fountains
EZH20 water fountains were installed during the summer of 2016. Combining energy savings, system diagnostics, and a clean sensor activated bottle filler, the EZH20 series have allowed students, faculty, staff, and visitors to eliminate the waste of over 1000 plastic water bottles during the school day. Water Fountains were made possible by the Aging Schools Grant through MSDE. |
