Best Answer

There are many kinds of bacteria that can grow on a water fountain, such as Pseudomonas and Coliform.

However, there are things you can do to prevent bacteria growth. Filter systems, chemical coatings and ultra-violet light systems are available on many modern water fountains to inhibit bacteria growth.
