Water Bottle Filling Station Promotes Environmental Awareness

The Center’s new drinking water/bottle-filling station will keep many plastic bottles out of landfills.

Thanks to a 2021 grant from The Fairfield Rotary, a stainless steel drinking water and bottle-filling station is being installed inside the Center.

In addition to being a touchless alternative to a public drinking fountain, it counts and displays the number of disposable plastic water bottles it is saving from going into local landfills — a feature that promotes awareness for visitors, especially children, about the harmful waste of single-use plastics.

Fairfield Rotary grants are awarded to local non-profits in support of worthwhile community initiatives. Southwest Region Director Shari Greenfield accepted the grant check at the Fairfield Rotary Holiday Luncheon on Monday, November 29, 2021.
