At Countryside Academy in Benton Harbor, Michigan, BrightArc installed a high-capacity, commercial-grade filtration system that now provides continuous access to safe drinking water for over 900 students, staff, and families. The system runs sustainably—reducing reliance on bottled water and ensuring long-term health for the school community.
