The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, with funding from the Colcom Foundation, has installed the first ever free chilled water dispenser in the US in Pittsburgh’s downtown Cultural District. The Water Cube serves chilled still and sparkling water for passersby to refill their water bottles as well as provides 2 drinking water fountains.
