Abstract
In Portland, Maine, a program to install water bottle–filling stations has exceeded expectations.
The Water Bottle Filling Station Grant Program increased public perception of local tap water and strengthened its brand.
Bottle filling stations should be sited in high-profile, high-traffic locations, and good candidates include nonprofit organizations, government buildings, and schools.
