Wife, dog and I drank from a hot fountain in front of a government-looking building while passing through on 2022-12-23. It was a cold night (20F or lower) so there was lots of steam and the yard was covered in ice from the humidity of it. Tasted good, had a slight/faint aftertaste like apple juice or something, could not put my finger on it. We all did fine. I only took about two quarts, one directly from the nozzle into a hot water canteen and the other from the rocks dripping into the second pool so that it was cooler. There is parking at Bill Clinton Park and you can walk right over. A quarter pays for 30 minutes but plenty of people were parking without paying to take pictures in the park’s decorations then leaving.
After looking at Google Maps Street View, it looks like there are spigots by the sidewalk that someone is filling up a jug at… we did not see those since it was dark… maybe use them instead of the fountain and report back if they are better ;D! The fountain looked similar to taps in Manitou Springs Colorado so did not think much of drinking from it.
