Instead of posting this story like it is ok, maybe you should post a photo of the sign right beside the fountain that says it's not for human contact. The water circulates all day long with minimum chlorine. That means, a person stands in the water and then throughout the day, the chlorine evaporates and when people stand in it, it is the same water that ran off another person's body earlier. So, unless people like to share bath water with a bunch of strangers, they probably shouldn't be standing in the fountain that was intended to be decorative. As someone that is a citizen of Auburn, it is embarassing to see people standing, bathing in this fountain.
