Question:
Why do water fountains have a red dot on them so often?
Explanation:
The red dot signals that the filter needs to be changed. It does not cause any harm because most of LT’s water fountains are not filtered – only the new ones are. Custodians are supposed to check them during their rounds, but they may not check them frequently enough.
Quote from Associate Principal Kevin Brown:
“We will get these water fountains fixed. I get my water from the fountains too and I like my water filtered just as you do.”
Update Feb. 17: “We’ve also had our team confirm that the filters have been fixed.”
