Water is a basic human right. You think $20 is going to water fountains? Its probably half a cent of your taxes.

As for what was the op, its probably nothing in taxes as the company plans to make money off the chilled and filtered to offset the cost of installing the units. The government your taxes pay for probably mandated the free tap to let them install them.
