Water Bottle Filling Station

Programs

In an effort to reduce the number of plastic bottles going to landfills, Salisbury University has installed water bottle filling stations in the following locations:

Current Bottle Filling Stations
*Building*	*Description*
Admissions	1^st floor near bathrooms
Choptank Hall	1^st floor lounge
Chester Hall	1^st floor lounge
University Center	1^st floor near the Wicomico Room
University Center	1^st floor near the vending machines
University Center	2^nd floor near Student Achievement Office

Maggs Gym	1^st floor near trophy case
Maintenance	1^st floor near bathrooms
Support Services	1^st floor near bathrooms
University Fitness	1^st floor main hallway

Physical Plant is beginning Phase II of bottle filling station installations around campus. Phase II calls for 10 more bottle filling stations to be installed at the locations below:

Phase II Filling Stations
*Building*	*Description*
Devilbiss Hall	1^st floor near Men’s bathroom
Fulton Hall	1^st near Food Court
Fulton Hall	2^nd floor near elevator
Holloway Hall	1^st floor main hallway
Holloway Hall	2^nd floor near center elevator
Holloway Hall	3^rd floor near center elevator
Maggs Gym	2^nd floor near Auxiliary Gym
Perdue Hall	1^st floor near Room 151
TETC	1^st floor at Tower entrance
TETC	2^nd floor at Colonnade

At the completion of Phase II, all main academic buildings will have at least one bottle filling station, except for Blackwell Library. Due to the age and construction of the building, retrofitting an existing drinking fountain is not feasible. However, further investigation of alternatives for Blackwell will be performed. Additional locations will be added based on need, demand, and budget.

These complimentary water stations filter tap water and allow hands-free filling of reusable water bottles. Many of the devices provide a digital readout which indicates the number of plastic bottles avoided. The water bottle refilling stations have been well-received by students, faculty and staff.

More Information:

Additional water bottle filling stations will be added to other buildings in the near future. Information about filter performance may be found at the Elkay website.
