Westfield installs water dispensers to reduce carbon footprint

The City of Westfield installed eight water filtration systems throughout the Westfield City Services building and at the Grand Park Events Center. The dispensers will save the city around $200 per month.

“Earlier this year the city made the commitment to cut back on our environmental footprint,” said Mayor Andy Cook. “Having a dispenser encourages city employees to use reusable water bottles and helps eliminate the use of plastic water bottles which creates carbon emissions.”

Mayor Cook launched the Westfield Green Initiative in the summer of 2017. At that time, the city stopped purchasing plastic water bottles and installed water coolers in common areas for employees. The new dispensers provided by Office H2O will reduce the plastic footprint even more and reduce the city’s maintenance cost.
