UMN Upgrades Free Drinking Water Facilities for Greater Accessibility and Convenience

(Free Drinking Water Refill Facility  at UMN) 

Tangerang – Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN) continues to provide free drinking water for students, staff, and visitors through drinking water refill facilities across the campus. In 2025, UMN continued to improve these facilities through upgraded drinking water dispensers, routine water quality monitoring, and more accessible placement in areas with high student activity. 

Upgraded Drinking Water Facilities 

UMN currently provides three upgraded drinking water dispensers located in Buildings C and D, where student activity is concentrated due to the high number of classes and daily movement between classrooms and other campus facilities. The locations are also close to canteen areas, making the drinking water facilities easily accessible during students’ daily activities. The dispensers can be used not only by students but also by staff and visitors who need access to drinking water while on campus. 

The upgraded dispensers provide hot, cold, and ambient drinking water, giving users greater flexibility according to their needs. The facilities are designed with a one-touch dispensing system, allowing water to flow without requiring users to continuously press and hold a button. Users can simply touch the control to start the flow and touch it again to stop, making the process more convenient when refilling reusable bottles or tumblers. 

These improvements make the refill process more practical for everyday campus use. The upgraded facilities have encouraged students to bring and regularly refill their reusable tumblers, making it easier to choose refillable bottles as part of their daily routines on campus. Students can regularly be seen using the dispensers to refill their bottles, with the facilities also accommodating orderly queues during busy periods.

By providing convenient refill facilities in high-traffic areas, UMN supports the use of reusable drinking bottles and reduces reliance on single-use bottled water. The availability of free drinking water therefore serves not only as a basic campus facility but also as a practical way to support more responsible consumption habits. 

Routine Drinking Water Quality Monitoring 

Alongside improvements to the facilities, UMN conducts routine monitoring of drinking water quality to support the safety and quality of the water provided through the refill stations. Regular monitoring provides an additional quality assurance measure for the drinking water facilities and supports the continued provision of accessible drinking water for the UMN community.

Through the combination of free drinking water access, upgraded dispensing technology, strategic facility placement, and routine water quality monitoring, UMN continues to improve the availability and convenience of drinking water for students, staff, and visitors. The facilities also support everyday refill-and-reuse practices, contributing to more sustainable water consumption habits across campus.
