In response to warming temperatures and in preparation for a wave of FIFA World Cup fans, the city of Seattle has installed seven stations in downtown for free water bottle refills. Seattle’s water is considered among the best in quality and taste in the United States: it comes from melted snow and rain stored in reservoirs on the Cedar and South Fork Tolt rivers.
Although snowpack in the watersheds that Seattle depends on was only about half of normal in early April, Seattle Public Utilities adjusted operations and expects there will be enough water for the entire summer — for people and for fish in the rivers. The stations are decorated with illustrations by local artist Stevie Shao that evoke the mountain origins of the water. The exact locations of all the stations can be found on the city’s website.
