I would have guessed so myself, but the source says horses via Google Translate, and I'm generally hesitant to contradict sources on subjects I know very little about.
I'm Portuguese, I'll help. The title says horse water trough. It's not referring to the animals depicted
I'll change the title, then!
Yes, 'bebedouro' means water trough. I think it all means 'Water trough, cross road Rua Cel. Bordini with Rua Cristovão Colombo' - I now realize it's street names probably.
