1. A water dispensing system, comprising:
at least one flow control valve connected to a water pipe, and comprising:
a flow meter configured to
measure an amount of water flowing in the water pipe,
determine when a first threshold is met, and
transmit a signal to a controller when the first threshold is met; and
a solenoid valve configured to control a flow of the water by allowing or blocking the flow of the water in the water pipe;
the controller configured to control dispensing of the water from one end of the water pipe by electrically communicating with each of the flow meter and the solenoid valve; and
a switch configured to provide an interface for a user to control an operation of the water dispensing system,
wherein the first threshold represents an amount of water less than a volume of a container to which the water is dispensed.
