Drinking water fountains serve fresh, potable water around the city. These fountains are installed and maintained by the City and Park Board.
We test the city's drinking water frequently to ensure and maintain a high quality level.
Temporary stations and fountains
During the summer months, we connect additional drinking fountains to our fresh water supply. These temporary drinking fountains are placed in specific locations that benefit the elderly, very young, and people experiencing homeless.
In addition to the 232 permanent fountains and six bottle-fillers located across the city, temporary handwashing stations and drinking fountains will be installed at these sites.
