Why are some of the park drinking fountains off during the winter months even though the weather may be warm?

Most of the drinking fountains at the various parks do not have plumbing parts that are freeze proof. Therefore, to guard against pipes or fixtures bursting in freezing weather, the Park Maintenance staff winterizes and shuts off the water source to fountains from approximately November 1 through March 1 each year.
