As America’s schools reopen and make plans for back-to-school this fall, having safe and sanitary drinking water is an important consideration for school administrators and facility managers across the country.
With the Centers for Disease Control calling for the replacement of high-touch, communal fixtures, such as water fountains, to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the Fontana Unified School District (FUSD) is replacing numerous communal water fountains and jug dispensers in all district-wide schools with fully “touchless” self-sanitizing FloWater Refill Stations.
FUSD is among the many school districts across the U.S. taking advantage of available CARES Act funds to cover the costs of upgrading the safety and quality of their drinking water as part of new protocols for safely reopening their facilities for students, teachers and staff.
