Drinking fountain
The Illustrated Guide to Hot and Cold Water Services (BG 33/2014), written by Reginald Brown and published by BSRIA in 2014, it states: ‘Traditional drinking fountains are fed directly from the mains or potable water storage. For indoor locations these have largely been displaced by bottled water or packaged units incorporating filtration and refrigeration. These units must be properly maintained including cleaning on a daily basis and periodic replacement of filters.’
