I’ve got nothing for this one…there are just so many ways to comment on this that I will leave it up to you. I’ve been around NYC many times but this was the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this! A curiosity indeed.

I never really thought about how they sample drinking water in a city like NYC. I wonder what the difference is between sampling it there and, say, from a sink in the Mayor’s office?
What a thought provoking post, Teri!

I stood there wondering if someone actually came up to this, unlocked it and then somehow took a sip of water in their little test Dixie Cup. But why here on a busy street we may never know!

Awesome! I was right when I imagined a tap/spigot in those things to sample from. Thanks, John.
