New Filling Station At Souhegan Reduces Waste

It can be tempting to throw away a water bottle after the last drop is drunk, but our high school has just made it easier to reuse these containers.

Souhegan High School has installed a new water bottle filling station to reduce plastic water bottle waste. The new water station features special faucet that can fill water bottles quickly and easily with clean, filtered water.

The installation of the cooler is the culmination of a yearlong project by the Souhegan Environmental Club. It is the gift of Community Council and the Class of 2011.

During the first week of use, the station saved close to 6,200 plastic water bottles, according to the high school.
