(Rising Sun, Ind.) – Employees at the Ohio County Courthouse are enjoying a new way to consume water. 

A new hands-free water fountain was recently installed at the Ohio County Courthouse in Rising Sun thanks to a generous grant from the Ohio County Community Foundation.

The fountain, as seen above, has an insert where an individual can fill up a water bottle without touching any surfaces. This type of water fountain has become more common in recent years, and in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The OCCF granted $1,549 to purchase the drinking fountain.

“Ohio County is thankful and very appreciative of the continued support from the OCCF,” said Amy Hockstrasser, Auditor of Ohio County.
