There should be a law …

Public water fountains in Rome

that the water in every public drinking fountain in the country be a standard temperature of 36 degrees Fahrenheit, right from the moment it starts pouring out, and in working condition 24/7/365. Don’t you hate when you’re miserably hot and sweaty and thirsty and, like a man stumbling around in the desert, you see a water fountain, only to find out it doesn’t work or the water is so warm you want to throw up? (BTW, in Rome, you can get cold, safe and delicious water right out of the spouts from ancient pipes throughout the city. Don’t be deceived by the decrepit appearance!)
