Water fountains are a U.S. thing? Never knew that. Is just filling bottles at sinks more common in other countries? Do people not drink on the go as much?
There are some fountains like this in Airports and where the tapwater is pretty bad, but usually a public water fountain is an old fountain from the medieval times with some ornaments and stuff
This is the one from my home city
But they are only outside because on the inside you just fill your bottle in the bathroom
Unchilled Tab-Water and filling bottles in the bathroom. Some drinking fountains are publicly available but more of a novelty and none usually not inside of buildings.
I don't know about others, but getting hydrated isn't an issue here. It's rarely above 30°C even in summer and our water in my city is of such "high quality" they bottle and sell it. (Aqua di Monaco).
