At the short presentation ceremony at the school, Alicia Jarvis of Newport explained the features of the station which will give purified, chilled drinking water in a touchless environment, as the system is designed with a slot to accommodate water bottles for refilling and it is also outfitted with foot pedals to activate the filling process.
Barrington Watson from CIBC FirstCaribbean Bank encouraged the children to drink more water, use less sugary drinks and to cut down on the single use plastic bottles which can harm the environment, fill up the landfills and pollute the oceans.
