Since I left school I feel like nearly every water fountain I come by doesn't work. Maybe 70% of indoor ones don't work and 80% of outdoor ones don't work. Is this a US lack of public investment thing or are they just really annoying to maintain so no one does it anywhere. Is there a place where MLKs dream lives on and anyone can get a drink of water for free?

And by work I mean you're able to drink from them without making out with the slow dribble coming out of it.

Where I live : 0%. There were one near my college only working in summer. There’s some in malls but they tend to be phased out when they rebuild/redesign the mall. However I’ve gone to Vancouver this year and there was a fountains at every two or three buildings in some posh quarter working all year round. Very weird for me
