In earlier times, taps in private housing was rare. People got their water from the public wells - about one for each town-district. The wells were highly frequented; here you could not only get water but the newest gossip as well!
The most modern ones were pumping stations like this one.

@dobrajaneckova These pumos are still in order but also no longer in use. Thanks for your comment!

There are still such wells in our villages. However, they are no longer used.

An excellent way to manage the problem of getting water in cities before we had running water in all houses. Thank you for this view of olden days.
