It used to be the norm here in the US for there to be public water fountains - not only in buildings like schools and offices, but also in the park that anybody could use. It is SUPER rare now to find a drinking fountain in a park. Not impossible ...but rare. And generally in really far-flung suburban parks ...not in the city parks where homeless people gather. Who could, you know, use them most of all. It's the same with public bathrooms. I'm old enough to remember before bottled water was such a thing. I think Evian existed but everyone joked that it was naive to spend so much on water ...Evian spelled backwards. I don't know when it became so normal for people to constantly have a plastic disposable water bottle!
