The town I grew up in had plenty of public faucets, in the town centre and in parks. This was a solved problem. Then the taps got removed and now we’ve all lost that choice.
The city I live in now has plenty of public water fountains in malls though, so we’re moving back in the right direction.
- Tempest1981 4y agoI remember people putting bubble-gum in the public drinking fountains. You're right, now I rarely see any.
- leereeves 4y agoI remember the public faucets being disgusting. It was nice when bottled water became available everywhere and we didn't have to drink from them anymore.
- autoexec 4y agoYeah, even if the water is routinely tested and pure, and the fountain and its pipes are well maintained and not full of mold/bacteria/lead, public drinking fountains can be full of germs, especially the parts everyone has to touch. I'd rather carry a bit of water with me and not even have to worry about it.
