Uvalde CISD and Zurn Elkay Announce Donation for Cleaner, Healthier, Safer Drinking Water
This summer, UCISD will install the donated units from Zurn Elkay in five UCISD schools, providing cleaner, healthier, safer filtered drinking water to the district’s 4,000 students, faculty, staff and community members.
Donated Elkay® filters are tested and certified to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 and 401 to reduce lead, microplastics and other harmful contaminants, with many models engineered to reduce emerging contaminants like certain PFAS (forever chemicals).
Valued at $370,000, the donation is part of Zurn Elkay’s Fountains for Youth initiative, which addresses the issue of lead in drinking water head-on by providing filtered bottle filling stations and filters to school districts in areas where lead levels are high and resources are low.
Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (NYSE: ZWS) and Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District (UCISD) today announced the donation of 36 Elkay Pro FiltrationTM filtered bottle filling stations, 19 Elkay® ezH2O® filtered bottle filling stations, 73 Elkay filtration conversion kits and five years of Elkay filters for each of the donated units, ensuring consistent delivery of cleaner, healthier, safer drinking water to students, faculty, staff and community members.
