Hydration Station Project

Project brought to you by Student Government, Facilities Department and Office of Sustainability

The Office of Sustainability won the Pikes Peak Earth Day Grant and received $5,000 for the hydration station project. Now, PPCC will be installing 2 hydration stations at RRC, CC and DTSC (6 stations total). This is a project supported by the student green fee. The hydration stations will provide cold filtered water to students, staff and faculty. This will reduce our use of disposable plastic bottles and promote reusable bottles. These hydration stations will also reduce PPCC's contribution to the local landfill. One more step to a sustainable campus!
