Lead-contaminated water is a nationwide issue and many states are taking action. Some have passed bills — or have them in the works — to improve drinking water quality in schools. Once they pass, schools and daycare centers will be required to test their water for lead and remediate if lead levels are high.
Is your school prepared to make changes?
GET AHEAD OF POTENTIAL CHANGES
Schools may be required to develop a water management plan with details for remediation. This could include large infrastructure projects, such as replacing pipes, or simpler yet still effective solutions, such as installing Elkay ezH2O® filtered bottle filling stations. Incorporating them into your plan now and upgrading soon will place your school ahead of the curve.
WHICH UPGRADES ARE RIGHT FOR YOUR SCHOOL?
From ezH2O bottle filling stations to coolers, there are many options. If you already have an unfiltered Elkay bottle filler or drinking fountain, you can easilyretrofit it to add filtration.
Elkay understands it can be challenging to manage multiple schools. That’s why they’ve made filter changes more convenient.
ezH2O filtered bottle filling stations feature filter status lights. When the green light turns yellow, it’s time to replace the filter. Don’t wait until it turns red, or students and staff could be exposed to contaminated water.
Register for the Elkay Filter Subscription Planto save time, hassle and money. Set up auto-ship for recurring scheduled delivery with free shipping and returns.
If you already have an Elkay standard cooler or bottle filling station, cut filter replacement time in half by replacing the wrapper with the newEZ filter maintenance kit. Easier access with no fuss.
UPGRADING IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO
Making sure your school adheres to potential new laws is responsible, but it’s also humane. By filtering the water, you can help protect students and staff from ingesting harmful contaminants, such as lead, cysts and more. Don’t wait to do the right thing for your school.
