Over 100,000 bottles filled
This is a water fountain just for bottles located in the Auburn Student center. There is a sensor that detects when a bottle is under the water fountain so it automatically cuts on and off. Also the water is filtered. The city water is a little funky tasting so the filtered water from this fountain beats the other non filtered water fountains.
I use this thing every morning to fill up my SIGG water bottle. I have probably saved at least 10 dollars a week using this water fountain. What is even cooler, there is a counter keeping up with the number of bottles this thing has refilled. So far the count is at 110000 bottles. That's a ton of money and a huge step towards reducing waste.
I have looked around campus and this is the only fountain for bottles I have found. I really wish there was one in the library. That would be super convenient.

Wow, that is really cool. I wish South had one of those. Sometimes, our water taste a little metallic. Convenient or not, I would still use it!
