Add water refilling stations to each floor of San Jacinto Residence Hall at UT Austin

The Issue

The San Jacinto Residence Hall at UT Austin is one of the largest dorms on campus.  Despite its 800+ residents, there are only two water fountain locations in the entire building.  This means students must go to the central location to get drinking water.  Each room has a sink, but the limited depth and water pressure of the faucet prohibit the vast majority of water bottles from being filled this way.  The secluded location of these filling locations also does not promote drinking water among students.  Hydration is extremely important for students, especially on a campus that has many days with temperatures above 90 degrees.  Help bring this issue to the attention of the housing staff on campus, and hopefully we can make drinking water more accessible for students.
