What percent of drinking fountains that you encounter work? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

I'd say all of the ones I've bothered to try work? Some of them have annoyingly low pressure, where I'm almost kissing the spigot, but none have been undrinkable.
