Comments on: You asked whether it’s against the law to take water from a public fountain. Yes, it is.

I did a water test exercise on fountain water, once, not too long ago. I used crystal clear glass bottles which were dishwasher sterilised before the test.

People who saw me filling the bottles for my test stared at me. Imagine what would have happened if they saw me filling jerry cans for domestic use.

The result was dirty water. The water is not even good to wash the street with.

I’m in no way complaining that fountain water should be clean. Fountain water doesn’t need to be clean.

In reply to C C. My thoughts exactly. And not just legionella, but a series of other bacterium and diseases. How irresponsible he is.

Besides public fountains are not tested against legionella (legionnaire’s disease). So the minister better take more precaution from where he is taking his water.

Daphne, the operative word here is permission…..you never know…….maybe “the officer in charge of public waters” gave him “permission”.

Look at this photo from Labour Pride (on Facebook):

You will certainly agree with me that the cat has been left out because of Godfather connotations … otherwise it would have been there …
