From their website:

Murdock Manufacturing is the oldest manufacturer of drinking fountains in the industry, having been in business since 1853. Today, Murdock sells a wide variety of drinking fountains, bottle fillers, hand washing stations, hydrants, and other water delivery devices for indoor and outdoor use.

Drinking Fountains ~

Murdock drinking fountains have been a core product since the company’s inception. Suited for commercial and institutional uses, there are many varieties and options to meet the needs of any application, including ADA compliance, custom branding, and indoor and outdoor usage. Many outdoor drinking fountains are available with freeze resistance to accommodate colder climates.

An Industry Leader Since 1853 ~

Murdock Manufacturing has been the benchmark in the drinking fountain and water hydrant industries for nearly 170 years. In 1853, when most people were still drawing water from communal wells, John G. Murdock, Sr. founded Murdock Manufacturing in Cincinnati, OH, and began manufacturing frost-free hydrants to deliver water throughout the country.

Committed to Durability and Longevity ~

Murdock’s reputation for high-quality, well-made products lead to our inclusion in high-profile Depression-era projects by the Tennessee Valley Authority (1933), the Civilian Conservation Corps (1933), and the Works Progress Administration (1935). Murdock’s M-1776 Old Style was one of the very first water fountains to exist, and it’s still manufactured in our factory today. While fabrication methods might have changed with the invention of new technology, our commitment to durability, longevity, and style remains unchanged. In fact, many of our century-old models are still in operation today and can still be repaired with original parts.
