A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :
In an effort to reduce the purchase of bottled water for large outdoor events three "Well on Wheels" were fabricated to provide chilled filtered water. Basically these are coolers on stands which contain stainless steel cooling coils and a high quality water filter and dual taps. Once the cooler is filled with ice and hooked up to a potable water supply it can provide chilled filtered water for several days.
