But one valley mom is expressing concerns about her son and other students staying hydrated at La Quinta High School.

The is mother complaining about dirty water fountains on campus, and she says drinks sold from vending machines are too expensive.

One fountain in question was backed up with what appeared to be green algae covering the basin.

Other fountains near the practice field were brown and rusty.

Another was badly discolored and corroded.

Kelly hall says the thought of her 9th grade son drinking from the dirty fountains makes her stomach turn.

"I think it is deplorable that they allowed the conditions of the water fountains to get like that, for our students to have to drink out of," said Hall.

After her son told her about the dirty fountains, she asked him to take pictures of the half dozen or so he felt were cause for concern.
