I haven't seen any drinking fountain nowadays. Its been replaced by water dispensers made of plastic. Do you still have one in your area?

Walmart stores still have them as well as the grocery stores around here. I've seen them at playgrounds also.

We still have it!!! Actually I was a bit shocked because I saw it near the Public Bathroom in the DFS Guam Building. It looks clean, and I guess the tourist find it useful, especially if they need to refill their water bottles.

We have drinking fountains in the parks and also near the washrooms in some areas. We have two in our school, and there are some in the hospital where my husband gets his physiotherapy. There is also one in one of the department stores. But there is none in the streets, and some parks do not have them. So we still have them, but not as often and there is no replacements by water dispenses, so I guess they want you either to carry a water bottle from home or go thirsty.

Hey there. We have a drinking fountain inside our office where I work. But, I don't go to the parks very often. I don't remember if they still have water fountains in our parks or not. I think water fountains can be found in some of the parks so that when people are walking they can stop and get a drink. Good question, though.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen any of the drinking fountains that used to be on every floor of our office. Yes, water dispensers have replaced them but in some of our parks you can still see one or tewo very old drinking fountains but as to whether they work or not, that's the question. But I guess its better now to have dispensers because they are much safer healthwise. Before, you can never be sure is the drinking fountain spout is clean or if sombody had drank straight from the spout and he had a contagious disease. he he.

hi dear we never had drinking fountains in our country but yes i think it is surely more hygienic to have them than the water dispensers..
