The purpose is to have everyone drinking more water and other natural drinks by raising the price tag of soda and other sugar-sweetened drinks. Research was performed to find out the status of local drinking water fountains and whether individuals from different racial or economic backgrounds had reduced availability to them. Facts on the city’s drinking water fountains were assembled using a GPS created specifically for the research. This information was cross-referenced with demographic information on race and income acquired from the US Census Community Study database. The two data sets were compared to identify what class disparities, if any, there were in access to running water fountains. Each water fountain and the demographics of its surrounding area were studied to reveal whether the site of the fountains or their standard of maintenance exhibited any connection to income, race, or other factors. The fact that the fountains were functioning was not a guarantee that they were well-maintained, since quite a few were in need of cleaning and repair.
