The real trick is to build these in places where the tap water is naturally cold, and to heat the free stuff.

Wait isn’t tap water always naturally cold?

[–] TheFlopster@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nope. Especially not in Texas in the summertime. The pipes are close enough to the surface that they warm up (unless you have well water, which is always cold).

Weird. Where I live they bury it eight feet deep so it doesn’t freeze in the winter so it’s constantly chilly.

You can always put more clothes on. You can only get so naked

Thats definetely a health hazard. If the water stands long enough to get warm, it will get infected sooner or later.

Doesnt matter so much for the sistance between the main water pipe and your tap, byt after a holiday you should definetly let some water run until it comes out cold again.

Thats definetely a health hazard

You mean the haphazard handling of drinking water or Texas in general? You're right either way 🤷
