Zurn Elkay Helps Michigan Schools With Filter First
Get help with your school’s mandatory Filter First drinking water management plan by requesting a free site walkthrough from Zurn Elkay drinking water experts. We know there’s a lot of work involved to bring your Michigan school up to Filter First standards with appropriate filtered bottle fillers and coolers, but we’re here to help you with your fixture inventory sheet and to make personalized product recommendations, just like we’ve done for Ypsilanti Middle School.
Filter First is a new law (HB 4341 and 4342) that ensures Michigan K-12 schools and childcare centers have continuous access to filtered drinking water. Filtration helps protect children from consuming high levels of lead and other contaminants. All water fixtures used for consumption are required to be properly filtered and tested every year. These fixtures must be accounted for in your school’s drinking water management plan.
