Water Fountains

Just a question but does anyone else notice that the water in warm out of the fountains. The water tastes odd we know that but at least it could be cold. This is just not in the summer.

I think it is just like my hose in the backyard...the pipes are outside, getting heated up by the sun and the result is the water is warm. I let it run for a few minutes and it gets cooler.

Which is of course the opposite of my darn shower which is freezing cold and takes forever for the hot water from the water heater to get in there

My kids think its a plot so you buy bottle water. So we freeze a couple in the room and let them melt.

I could understand this if I was drinking from Disney's landscape watering spigots, but most drinking fountains provide water that has been chilled at the point of distribution (i.e., just before it is distributed to your mouth!)
