        Rome has hundreds of them all over the city. And they are wonderful for cracking down on sales of bottled water.

        Our towns and cities are full of drinking fountains but none of them work due to years of neglect another example of failed neo liberal policy.

        It should be technically feasible to build in filters to such public taps, making the water more palatable to those with chemical sensitivities. I won't drink or cook with unfiltered British tap-water either unless I have no choice (e.g. when socially obliged to eat out)

        What a great idea if the government and/or council take care of the taps and don't let them fall into disrepair like everything else they touch
