Just you; in my comparatively sane state most were never turned off and those that were came back within a few months.

Even around here there's a few that seem to still be off, and I think just because nobody ever bothered to complain or turn them back on.

Someday I'll get arsed enough to figure out where the valve/plug is.

Don't even get me started on water fountains that require power.

As someone who always keeps a carafe of ice water at my desk, I really appreciate the output of properly-maintained chilling water fountains.

I'm fine with chilling water fountains, I just wish they were designed so that they'd still dispense water without power.
