Pictured the new baptismal font at "Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church" in
Oakland, NJ. Water Structures LLC worked with the font's designers, Arthur John
Sikula Architects of NYC, who wanted the bottom pool of the baptismal to gently
overflow its top. The project was particularly challenging because all its
equipment had to be contained within the font. Water Structures was able to
prefabricate the baptismal font with its equipment installed in it at the
factory.

Negative edge baptismals are structurally and hydraulically more sophisticated
than the standard design baptismals. Water Structures water tests every
baptismal font shell and equipment package before shipping. Pictured is Saint
Clare negative edge baptismal, Shiloh, IL.
