Press Release:
Chicago Faucets ECAST(TM) Line Allows California Schools to Immediately Address Latest Lead-Free Safety Standards for Drinking Water
DES PLAINES, Ill. and SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Ongoing efforts by state legislators to provide the safest drinking water possible to the residents, and especially to the children of California, has resulted in the creation of California Assembly Bill 1953 (AB1953). Slated to take effect on January 1, 2010, this new bill requires residential and commercial faucets that dispense water for human consumption must not exceed a total weighted average of 0.25% maximum lead content. Facilities particularly impacted by this new law include: schools, day care centers, hospitals, healthcare facilities, restaurants and cafeterias.  In response to this bill, Chicago Faucets, the leading brand of commercial faucets in the United States, has introduced ECAST(TM), a line of durable, high-quality brass faucets and fixtures for installation in food service areas, restrooms, locker rooms, classrooms and other areas where students may drink water. "This new line of faucets has already received certification, so we are very excited to be able to offer it to the schools and other facilities throughout the state of California ahead of schedule," said Andreas Nowak, CEO of Chicago Faucets. ECAST will be available beginning October 2008, permitting Californians to meet this regulation 14 months before the law takes effect. "Our opinion was, why make the children and residents of California wait, when we have the ability to provide faucets that meet this new law today," added Nowak. "Chicago Faucets is proud to continually take a leadership position for product quality, innovation, conservation and safety," concluded Nowak. "Our aggressive approach in developing ECAST faucets, combined with our water conservation, sustainability and anti-microbial initiatives, will allow schools, hospitals, restaurants and other facilities to install the finest commercial grade faucets available, with the added peace-of-mind that they meet the latest safety standards in California."
