<p>Most of the outdoor fountains I have seen are not chilled.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.<br>

<div>That one is a comment that stood out to me?</div>

</div>
<div>Is the water in your "drinking fountains" chilled, or is
it just the natural temperature of the water coming out?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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!</div>
