They wrote back within two days to say that their crews were looking into it, and within, oh, about two weeks, they had replaced the one at Prince Edward and 37th with a spiffy new fountain that includes a water bottle refill tap, a dog drinking fountain, and two fountains at different heights for children and adults. Its great–and I hope we’ll see more. There’s a limited budget for these things; I hope that we can keep adding to them because as the city’s stated position is to drink tap water and avoid using bottled water, we need more fountains. And by the way, we do drink (and pee) in the winter….
