Just 6 months after installation, two hydration stations at Illinois Wesleyan have diverted the equivalent of more than 32,000 16-ounce, one-time-use water bottles.

Through the efforts of Student Senate, Sierra Student Coalition and Physical Plant, the two hydration stations were installed in the fall of 2012 in the Presser Hall main lobby and the Center for Natural Science lobby, to provide students convenient access to filtered water and reduce single-use water bottles on campus.
