View Where are Ottawa's drinking fountains? in a larger map
It's summertime in the National Capital Region, and as temperatures rise, so too does a question: where can we get a drink around here? More to the point, where can we drink for free?
The answer has traditionally been the public water fountain, but as bottled water has become pervasive, water fountains are becoming an afterthought.
But they are still out there. So we want to know: where are there working drinking fountains in the city?
Email All in a Day your pics of water fountains, and let us know if they are working.
As you can see, we're building a map. Blue markers indicate water fountains. If you find a fountain that doesn't work, let us know and we'll note it with a red marker.
