Is the water in your "drinking fountains" chilled, or is it just the natural
temperature of the water coming out?
there are a few “machines” that distribute chilled and carbon dioxide enriched
water for a few pennies and where you fill bottles you bring, but these are
relatively rare and are not considered drinking fountains, they’re an
alternative. Speaking of drinking fountains, these are either fed by a spring
or from the public water network.
Particularly in the summer, and if the fountain hasn’t been used for some time,
you’ll have to let it flow until it gets to the network temperature, because
the first water would be quite warm and unsafe to drink.
Best practice is to first operate the bubbler to let some water out
unimpeded so;
the flow rate and trajectory can be judged
any dirt/bugs are cleaned out
the temperature can start to stabilize
