Project Highlight: A Legacy Still Flowing — Downtown Montréal, QC

While walking through downtown Montréal, we recently came across a remarkable sight: an original Murdock® drinking fountain still in service after decades of public use. Weathered by time yet still performing exactly as intended, it stands as a powerful reminder that true quality endures.

Founded in 1853, Murdock Manufacturing is one of the longest-standing leaders in water delivery systems. For over 170 years, Murdock has been designing and manufacturing stainless steel drinking fountains, handwashing stations, hydrants, and bottle fillers for indoor and outdoor public environments across North America. That longevity is not just measured in years — it’s visible in communities.

As Bob Murdock, President, reflects:

“If you had the opportunity to go out there and be in a park, chances are you were out there with your family, at a picnic, and Murdock was there in the picnic shelter. Having that long history of involvement with the public is, more than anything else, why the Murdock brand remains strong. As we continue the innovation, all the things that we’re doing to make it a much better product, we’re building on the legacy of what it was in the very beginning.”

This fountain in Montréal is more than infrastructure — it’s a living piece of history. A symbol of how Murdock has stood the test of time, evolving with modern innovation while remaining rooted in the same commitment to durability, reliability, and public service that defined the brand from the very beginning.

From yesterday’s picnic shelters to today’s high-performance hydration solutions — the legacy continues to flow. 💧
