I’ve built fountains in Philadelphia. In my experience, they treat all public fountains (in philly) like swimming pools because despite the fact they aren’t supposed to be swimming pools, that’s how people use them in the hot summer, and rightly so. What you don’t see at most public fountains is the underground (or otherwise hidden) structure nearby housing a filter plant (bigger and far heftier than most swimming pools have) and full chlorination systems, because untreated water, even in fountains, looks like shit. Chances are, that water is relatively clean and balanced. It’s somebody’s job to make sure that it is.

After you get kicked out of all the local pools you just gotta improvise

The pool toys are just a diversion so the kids can steal all the wishes...
