Have you ever consideered raising the base say up to waist height so that the people don't have to stoop over to get the water? Water is heavy, and for some reason I see a lot of women having to bend over and lift these heavy containers of water instead of the much stronger men doing it.
Why aren't the men lifting the water?
I would build a base just under waist high and raise the faucets. People could walk up, slide their bucket on the platform, then carry the full bucket away, all with no bending and hurting their back over time.
