Water supply to public taps doesn't have a good history in London, as I am sure you know.

Would be lovely to have some drinking water fountains in London. We do seem to be lacking.
Although I like the Parisians provision of public drinking water fountains, I have never liked their running of water down street gutters. Supposed to keep dust down and clean but I have only seen it used in France.
I think I would go for the non carbonated water the less CO2 we produce the better.

For water in street gutters, visit Cambridge!

I expect a DG taste test on supermarket cheap bottled sparkling water 20p for 2 litres

Place de la Concorde itself is on the rive droite, of course..
Paris's first public water fountains were gifted by an Englishman and are still in use - the elegant fontaines Wallace

The new Bridge Theatre by Tower Bridge has water fountains for still or sparkling in the foyer - you don't even need to be seeing a show to use them!

@John
"the less CO2 we produce the better. "
Doesn't that depend on where it is coming from? Most of the CO2 used in fizzy drinks is a byproduct of fermentation processes, mainly in the brewing industry, and would otherwise just be vented to the atmosphere anyway.
Re DG's last sentence. I'd rather not drink piddly water anyway!

Truro used to have water running in the gutters. When I was last there the feed sluices and weirs were still extant, but no flow in the streets.

There are water fountains in London, Hammersmith bus station has one, and I spotted one at a London Terminus recently (Charing Cross I think). The Hammersmith one even sells TfL branded bottles!
