As part of Montgomery County Public School's commitment to the practices of sustainability and equity, the MCPS Board of Education passed a resolution in July 2021 to install two filtered water bottle filling stations at each school to reduce dependency on single-use plastic bottles and to provide equitable access to resources. Water bottle filling stations offer a sanitary and environmentally friendly solution that promotes healthy drinking water habits. Because drinking water safety is at the forefront of community attention, the filtered water bottle filling stations proved an extra level of reassurance regarding the water quality through additional purification. The filters utilized in the bottle filling stations meet national standards for contaminant and impurity reduction. All units comply with NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 filter capability for lead.
