Drinking Fountains
You gave us a great discussion topic for breakfast this morning.
We honestly don't know that we have ever seen a drinking fountain in Mexico, the logistics could be a challenge.
At least here, water is pumped periodically, not a constant pressurized flow like in the US. So, you would need, at the very least, a tinaco to store the water in, and it would have to be elevated to provide pressure. Then, what about treating the water? The tap water is supposed to be safe to drink when it leaves the treatment facilities, but once it leaves there, it goes through many many pipes, many with breaks in them and stuff growing in them. Then there is the condition of the tinaco to consider.
We think that is why, when water is provided in a business, or wherever, it is in a garrafon on a base with disposable vessels nearby.
Great idea, though
