Most of the outdoor fountains I have seen are not chilled.
You get water at a temperature lower than the external one because the
pipes are underground, sometimes the water is very cold; especially in
the mountains where it could come from a spring.
Having a tap which prevents the water from flowing lets the water stop
within the fountain; if the fountain is under direct sunlight it may
warm up, especially if the fountain is made out of metal.
Thus, when you use this kind of fountains you often let the water flow
for a while in order to discard the warm water and to get the cold one
from the underground pipes.

That one is a comment that stood out to me?
Is the water in your "drinking fountains" chilled, or is it just the
natural temperature of the water coming out?
Yes, we do have cooled (very rarely chilled!) water dispensers,
usually indoors where power is available, but for drinking fountains
in parks etc, what comes out is what you get to drink!
Thanks
