Are water fountains germ free?

Answer:
Public water fountains can be extremely dangerous in the number and kinds of bacteria that are found there. Some studies have found that water fountains harbor more germs than the water in a toilet bowl. People either throw trash in the fountain, spit in it, or put their mouths directly on the spigot.
