PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A heat wave is coming to Pittsburgh, and almost all of the city's 200 public water fountains have yet to be turned on.
But now a Pittsburgh City Council member is crafting a plan to get the water flowing after the Pittsburgh Department of Public Works director said this week that he didn't have the means to get the fountains working anytime soon.
"I have one plumber working for the city," Pittsburgh Department of Public Works Director Chris Hornstein said. "We have over 200 drinking fountains."

I wouldn’t drink out of a fountain if you paid me. Carry a water bottle or 2...or....stay inside.

Since covid people seem to have an aversion to public drinking fountains anyway so why bother?.....liberal cites sure know how to piss money away don’t they? SMH

Oh, we are trying. We are trying so hard! We might get to them this year or next.

"I have one plumber working for the city," They need federal money.
They need about a billion dolllars.
Then they could hire at least 2 more plumbers.

Are we talking drinking fountains or “splash pads?” (larger fountains where children, or even adults, can run around and cool off)?
To: Sacajaweau
Sadly the splash pads are closed on Juneteenth.

Why don;t you city retards fire 100 city employees and all of the police who refuse to respond to anything less than murder from 12A-6am and hire three extra plumbers. And yes, that is the actual PPD position on night time calls! I despise BLM criminals but their favorite FTP chant might be right at least in this instance.
