The Truth Behind Water Fountains:
Today I was doing some menial research on water quality among school fountains. (a.ka. searching for the best drinking fountain.) It turns out I stumbled across yet another commonly excused tragedy of life. See, we often are led to believe that school water fountains must always have poor quality water pumping through the unsanitary stained steel nozzle. Why? Some claim it's the city water, other's claim it's old pipes, or a lack of budget. However, the real reason we aren't getting Aquafina quality water ebbs from a midget union crisis in the fall of 1929. Somewhere the midget's grievances were not being heard so they discontinued their manufacturing of high-quality H20 dispensers. When the government (rather the board of education) got involved, the manufacturing union was forced to reinstate their production lines. The secret behind all of this is, in order to spurn the government and save the union some funds, they began using crude oil filters as replacements to liquid-osmosis filters, while disguising the labels. Since then all water fountains contain oil filters in disguise and thus we end up with poor quality water in ALL school drinking fountains. (just thought you'd all like to know).
