West Basin announces new water bottle filling station in Lawndale, urges residents to refill
Summary
E.J. Caldwell of West Basin Municipal Water District announced a new water bottle filling station in Lawndale, urged residents to bring reusable bottles to cut single-use plastics, and said the district is celebrating three filling stations across its service area.
E.J. Caldwell, general manager of West Basin Municipal Water District, announced a new water bottle filling station in Lawndale and encouraged residents to bring reusable bottles to reduce single-use plastics.
Caldwell said the district is partnering with Lawndale City — one of the 17 cities in West Basin's service area — to promote drinking water access and environmental benefits. "We got a new water bottle filling station here in the city of Lawndale and we are extremely excited to partner with the city," he said.
The district also marked the rollout of multiple refill points. Caldwell said West Basin "celebrate[s] three filling stations" in its program, and urged people to "bring your bottle, fill them up." He thanked "Director Donald Dear" for bringing this refilling station to Lawndale.
Caldwell promoted the quality of the district's supply: "we have the freshest, safest, cleanest drinking water around," and said the system offers a fresh and reliable drinking-water supply for residents. He added the refilling stations are intended to reduce single-use plastics by making tap water more convenient.
The event closed with a light note of celebration: "Cheers, Lawndale!" The district did not provide further details at the event about installation locations beyond the new Lawndale station, funding sources, or an operational schedule.
