Have no fear! Your body is very good at rejecting germs that might damage it, and a constant supply of them will improve this capability.This is well worth doing, given the decreasing effectiveness of antibiotics these days.

The water will be chlorinated anyway, which will see off many of these germs you fear so much. This is not the case for bottled water which in many cases contains far more germs and chemical nasties than are permitted from any tap.

It will be interesting to see what these outside drinking fountains do when the weather gets cold. Perhaps they will have heaters to prevent them freezing up, or be made of plastic pipes capable of tolerating the expansion without bursting.

I am old enough to remember seeing a few of them dotted around cities in parks and public squares etc. One by one they have all vanished, presumably as cost savings by councils. I expect they used to regularly freeze up and cost a bomb to repair.

I remember a water tap by Leasowe Common many years ago.It was used a lot by passers by & also their dogs .We never used a bottle ,we drank directly from the tap & germs or not we're still alive to tell the tale. I'm sure they must have frozen at some time but were the Winters then as cold as now. I'm sure many people would "fill up" ,just think of the money they would save & the reduction in plastic bottles would help but is it too little to late ?

This place is worth a visit if you can get a group of 25+ together. We went last year, or maybe the year before on Heritage Open Days.

What the guide does not know about plastics, aint worth knowing! She was brilliant. You will never look at household waste in the same way again!

I always thought councils , money wasting quangos on big pay for the " leader" , sold the waste so in world terms it was meaningless as far as saving the world.
In my work the big bins get thrown in together, when collected , so us splitting it is useless.
Its like the global warming myth...really to make £ via taxation.
