a

Includes those served by San Juan Gascón and Pamputic only. The table excludes the fountain in the Plaza Mayor whose allotment the source does not specify, but which was almost certainly larger than the others.

b

This allotment was probably shared with the fountain in the Plazuela de La Candelaria, which does not appear in the source but was certainly in service at this time. See Luis Luján Muñoz, Fuentes de Antigua Guatemala (Guatemala City, 1977), 41.

c

This fountain either replaced or shared water with that of the Barrio de San Francisco, inaugurated with a one-paja grant in 1621. Ibid. The San Francisco fountain does not appear in the 1696 register.
