Bostonians boast that it is the best in the country. The teetotaling mayor orders a “Boston Ale” when he hankers for a glass. Imported 65 miles from the pristine hills of central Massachusetts, it quenches thirst better than a sports drink.
Boston tap water.

This is an excellent idea.
What a stupid idea. Carry a water bottle like everyone else. So easy to spend taxpayer $ on something the councilor "wants" but doesn't need. Can you imagine the cost of a year round water fountain meant to operate through the NE winters?

While I'm not against the principle of year-round water fountains, I think its an abuse for a councilor to promote something primarily for his own convenience. That appears to be the case here.
And how many water fountains are going to be converted? All of them, or only in certain neighborhoods?
Lots of questions.
Here in Boston it is pronounced "bubbla".
This is a great idea. Anyone who pays attention to an industry that is taking our water and selling it back to us in palstic containers, needs to have their head examined and they need to see the collections of plastic that have been located in our oceans. Take your pick: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=plastic+in+the+ocean+the+size+of+texas&qpvt=plastic+in+the+ocean+the+size+of+texas&FORM=IGRE
And, how about if someone develops an app to locate existing fountains?
Great idea, now how about deposits on the plastic water bottles. My neighborhood would look better and the bottle collectors would make a little more money.

In these parts it's called a bubbler. Water fountain? Where is this guy from?!
Let's keep working on the potholes, graft, and parking instead

What a concept! If it actually works, and if there were enough of them, and if people got the word that the water was good, maybe there would be no need for a STUPID DEPOSIT.
Myself? I bought a couple of plastic water bottles, I clean them and reuse them. Mine about 4 years old now.
Lazy people buy disposable water bottles and throw them away.
