To address the issue of lead in drinking water head-on, Zurn Elkay’s Fountains for Youth program proactively provides filtered bottle-filling stations and drinking fountains for schools in areas with high lead levels and limited resources.
Our business places us at the center of critical community issues related to water cleanliness, safety, conservation and infrastructure. Our products provide point-of-use filtration that immediately makes drinking water cleaner and safer. We proactively address lead in school drinking water through product donations. Our products can help communities achieve one of their most fundamental and important goals: providing safer, cleaner drinking water. Zurn Elkay stands out as a company that delivers strong results while advancing climate and stewardship goals.
If you represent a school district that meets our criteria, we look forward to connecting with you.
We seek partnerships with districts where we can significantly improve student access to cleaner, safer, lead-free drinking water. This is especially important for their elementary schools. To nominate a school district for Fountains for Youth consideration, please complete the form linked below.
