What a waste of tax dollars. Eww, I wouldn't let my dog drink from the pet fountain. It'll be turned into a urinal.

Those things cost about $4000 each, tops. The other $96K must be “labor”...

The ADA-compliant fountains would be free to use 24/7 and would be located in well-lit areas, according to the City. Each fountain would contain three components: a drinking fountain, a bottle-filling station and a pet fountain.

Their gonna need a toilet roll paper holder, because you know what this little public station is gonna morph into.

Some homeless folks will throw a pop-up tent over this station, and his/her/they/X will have running water in their new 'home'.

If they say it will cost 1 million then count on it costing at least 5 million.

They used to be at all gas stations, and they were free. Now nothing gets done in these libtard cities for under a million. What crap.

That’s $100,000 each, folks.

Hey, here’s an idea.
Why not get those water fountain / pissoir combos like the ones at the ICE detention facilities?

What is a drinking fountain? Is that the same thing as a water fountain?? Or will the fountain serve drinks? I’m confused here.

They could probably set up 10 kiosks, staffed by disabled veterans, to hand out water bottles for free to passers-by (room temperature water, chilled water from an ice chest, and flavored water) for years at less cost.

Or to save money, instead of paying disabled vets to man the kiosks, make crooked lawyers or people arrested for a DUI who have to do "community service" staff them for free.

Why are they paying anything? I thought everything was free!
