Please find below the revised response. I’m researching water fountains. I’d like the street address - or if not possible, as precise a location as is possible - for all fountains (whether those are drinking fountains, ornamental or otherwise, and whether they are working or non-working) owned, managed, maintained or operated by the local authority. The following table includes references to former drinking fountains/wells which, because of the current health and safety regulations, necessitated their removal from use on the grounds that costs would be too excessive to comply with those regulations. Others, which are non-working have been kept on display at various sites as ‘relics’ of the past.
