A
So
the
information
that
I
have
it
says:
fifteen
percent
of
the
district's
total
water
fountains
have
been
deemed
inoperable.
Does
the
information
that
I
have
concentration
of
inoperable?
Films
varies
greatly
in
some
schools,
it's
as
high
as
90
percent.
There
is
an
opportunity,
though,
for
a
water
fountain
system.
Basically,
that's
cost
1500
per
unit
about
900
hours
for
the
cost
and
600
to
it
for
the
install
and
the
math
was
done
at
at
three
per
school.
It's
218
schools,
it's
just
under
a
million
dollars
to
clean
up
the
whole
water
situation.
B
B
Fifty
fifty
eight
action
item
number
58
was
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
operable
fountains
and
that,
in
the
event
that
we
did
not
have
operable
water
stations,
that
we
would
then
make
the
necessary
investments
to
have
those
both
through
external
means
and
through
our
school
food
service,
which
is
also
entity
that
that
allows
us
to
also
purchase
hydration
station
or
water.
Correct.
